          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:21):</by>  I would have to go back and check in detail what was in the correspondence from the parents in May. My recollection was that there were concerns about the delay in the police investigation, and that is why the matter was referred to the Minister for Police. But, I have asked, since this matter has been raised, that the new chief executive make contact so that we can sit down with the parents and talk with them one on one to ascertain where there may be differences in relation to the advice provided by the school and that which the parents are claiming occurred.</text>
