CHILD PROTECTION

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Supplementary question, Mr Speaker: whilst the minister is not able to name the expert who was employed for the purpose outlined in the report, can she assure the house that that person was not an employee of the department?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:00): I do not have the detail of the person. As I said, I am happy to get it if it is appropriate.
