House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Child Protection Inquiry CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:23): Again, my question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree that, if emails contain allegations of rape or sexual misconduct toward a child, they would be classified as official records and therefore be entitled to be preserved? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (15:23): What I do agree with is the findings that were made by Mr Debelle, and that is the importance of centralised files and records keeping. Things that document records and central files that concern matters of this sort—that is, very serious, critical incidents—should be the subject of a central file. All relevant documents that go to those matters should be kept on those files and they should become official records that are kept on those files. That is an explicit recommendation and it is a recommendation that we accept.
