CHILD PROTECTION

The SPEAKER: Is this a further supplementary from the leader?

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (15:22): Further and final, sir.

The SPEAKER: Because the last one probably was not a supplementary.

Mr MARSHALL: I just would ask when did the minister ask the chief executive to conduct that investigation?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:23): I haven't asked him to investigate the parents at all; I have asked him to contact the parents so that he can have a discussion with them. I know the parents met with the principal very shortly, just days after their correspondence was received, and that request was put to the chief executive officer this morning.

Mr Pisoni: When it went to the media?

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned for the second time.
