The Hon. J.M. RANKINE House of Assembly Wright Minister for Education and Child Development Minister for Multicultural Affairs CHILD PROTECTION The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:01): It was arranged for the principal to meet with the parents and I think that happened the next day or the day after, so very quickly after correspondence had been received by the department and my office. The correspondence was forwarded to the Minister for Police because there was some anxiety by the parents that the police investigation had been underway since March and they were anxious that the matter was not going to end up in court, but there was a response from the Minister for Police confirming that that matter was proceeding.
