CHILD PROTECTION

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (15:20): And it is a good question, too, like the other 14. My question is to the Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion. Following the minister's briefing in screening processes in his department, can he tell the house what were the qualifications and experience of the officer in his department who was responsible for the clearance being given to the youth worker charged with unlawful sexual intercourse after previously having been charged with indecent behaviour?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers) (15:20): Unfortunately, I do not have that information to hand and I am happy to obtain it for the member.
