CHILD PROTECTION

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:48): Can the Premier just clarify his answer? Yesterday, when the question was asked, I believe the Hansard shows the government did not take the question on notice. In fact, they refused. Today, the Premier is saying that they took the question on notice yesterday. Can the Premier please advise: is he telling the house he has taken that question on notice and will provide an answer on the next day of sitting?

The SPEAKER: Premier, the question is out of order because the answer is readily obtainable by reference to Hansard. The member for Unley.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: If the Hansard is not clear, we can't do it for another week—for six weeks.

The SPEAKER: Well, look, my understanding is that if the member for Davenport is right, Hansard will show that the question asked yesterday was not taken on notice, and I heard today the Premier take the question on notice. It's that simple. The member for Unley.
