CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (15:44): My question is again to the Premier. Have any of the 11 public servants subjected to possible disciplinary action after the Debelle inquiry been given a promotion before the disciplinary proceedings were concluded?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:44): As far as I am aware, since Mr Harrison has taken over as CE, there have been no movements of public servants, but since—

Mr Marshall: Are you sure?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: No, I am not sure. I am saying, as far as I am aware, there have been no movements. Mr Harrison is managing this process, which hopefully will come to a conclusion in the relatively near future. I have to say I have the utmost confidence in both his capacity and his integrity to undertake this in an appropriate and proper manner.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call the shadow minister for transport to order and also the member for Reynell.
