Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:54): Supplementary to the answer. We have heard that your department was informed by this person on 6 May. When did your department make you aware of this query?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:54): I am sorry, you have misheard. My office received an email on 6 May.

Mr MARSHALL: When were you informed about it?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: That is not what you asked: you asked when my department informed me of it.

Mr Marshall: That is exactly what I asked.

Mr Pisoni: I asked that question, and she didn't answer it.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: No, it is not. You need to listen to what you say. I was aware of this—

The SPEAKER: I call the member for Unley to order. Minister?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: I was alerted to this on 7 May. Can I say that, in less than two months of this mother contacting my office, this government has legislation ready to be discussed in this house.
