CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:09): A supplementary, if I may, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: If indeed it is a supplementary.

Mr PISONI: Can the minister, then, confirm that the alleged perpetrator was previously convicted for indecent behaviour in a public place in front of a woman and child? How is this not a child protection issue?

The SPEAKER: That is a supplementary. The Minister for Education.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:09): I never said this is not a child protection issue. I said there were no child protection notifications as a result of that offence.

Mr Pisoni: No you didn't; that's not what you said.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: That is exactly what I said.
