CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:49): Supplementary, sir. I appreciate that the minister has outlined the actions that were taken, but can we just ask the minister whether she can confirm that the reports made by her ministerial advisers to the mother were incorrect when stating that a written briefing had been provided to you as the minister?

The SPEAKER: Does the minister wish to add anything? The Minister for Education.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:50): Sir, I don't have the detail of the conversations, but obviously we sought information from the department. I don't know how many times I have to say the same thing.
