CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:23): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Were details of the 12 December bus trip to Victoria and the alleged child sex offender's employment with the MFS contained in the briefing prepared for the minister by her department on 7 June 2013?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:24): I will check that briefing and ascertain the content of that. I obviously do not have that with me in the house; but can I say, sir, that today on radio the member for Unley gave a guarantee that he would go to police if he had any sensitive information in relation to any cases, and—

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Point of order: standing order 98. I believe the minister is debating the issue. She has already answered the question and she is continuing with debate on the topic.

The SPEAKER: I will listen carefully to what the minister has to say.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Thank you, sir. Mr Pisoni said, and I quote—

Mr PISONI: Point of order, sir.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Leave it to me. The Minister for Education will not refer to the member for Unley by his surname, and I call her to order.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Thank you sir. I was referring to the quote on radio, I apologise. The member for Unley said, 'I always do, I always do.' Let me say, that's not the case, and quite frankly, he's got form.

Ms Chapman: This is debate.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I think we have got the idea. Deputy leader.
