CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:10): My question is to the Premier. Following today's Ombudsman's report, does the southern suburbs sexual abuse case confirm that recommendations made by Mr Debelle have still not been implemented?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:10): All of Mr Debelle's recommendations have been accepted by the government and we are in the process of implementing them. There are three, I think, that we cannot implement until such time as a legal event is completed. There are some recommendations in relation to legislation and those matters are being progressed. We expect to have the vast majority of the recommendations completed by the end of this year.
