          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:57): </by> Sir, I implied no such thing and, in fact, have taken advice from the department, which it received from the Department for Health. We have put in place a timely notification to parents about this particular situation that has occurred in an outer metropolitan school.</text>
        <text id="20130515b0708c65ece34a3890000487">I was very careful yesterday not to name the school or give any indication of which school it is, because we wanted to provide the parents impacted by this the courtesy of having that information before the school is identified in the media. Sadly, other people have taken a different view, and I understand from reports in <term>The Advertiser</term> today that the member for Unley named that school, causing even greater concern and distress to parents of that school.</text>
