RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:14):</by>  Again, as I said yesterday, the incident was assessed by the school at the time not to warrant reporting to the Child Abuse Report Line. When complaints were made to the police—and I have checked the information that has come to me—there was a report made to CARL on 14 March, which was around the time that, I understand, the police were informed about this incident and this young woman was interviewed; so, I am assuming that that report was made by SAPOL.</text>
