CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:12): Supplementary.

The SPEAKER: It is not going to be the same supplementary, is it?

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: No.

The SPEAKER: Good.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Can the minister confirm that the royal commission inquired into whether the former minister for police was advised of the incident referred to in the member for Unley's previous question and, if so, what did the royal commission say? If not, will the minister take the question on notice and bring it back to the house tomorrow?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:13): I thank the honourable member for the question. It is not for me to read the report for him. I have already indicated and I have directed members' attention to the passage in the documentation attached to the report, where the royal commissioner explains very clearly that he is looking into every aspect of the matter. He had carte blanche to make any recommendations he wished and he did, 43 of them as I recall. Those recommendations range over all matters that he considered in his inquiry to be matters of concern or requiring improvement.
