CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:10): My question is to the Minister for Education. Further to my previous questions, during the education portfolio handover to the minister did the former education minister raise the issue relating to the alleged sexual assault of the school student?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:10): The former minister for education was on leave when this person was charged. The file was received in her office at that time. It was noted the day after, and in fact the minister never personally received the file, so, no, she didn't brief me, because she didn't see the file.
