          <by role="member" id="563">The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:56): </by> My question is to the Minister for Education. Following the establishment of the Special Investigations Unit, can the minister advise the house how many investigations undertaken by the Special Investigations Unit have resulted in a matter going to court? I sought information from the then minister back in 2011 about this matter and the advice I received back then was the only matter that had gone to court was the matter in relation to Mr Easling, which the government lost, and I am seeking an update on the information in regard to that matter.</text>

          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:56): </by> As I understand it, there are two areas that undertake investigations now under the combined Department for Education and Child Development. One area looks at those areas of complaint in relation to Families SA, foster carers and care of children under guardianship. The other area is looking at complaints in relation to schools and preschools. I am happy to get those details and bring them back to the house.</text>
