CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): I have a supplementary, sir. Can the minister confirm that the settlement would require ministerial approval?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:12): No, I cannot do that, either. I have asked that question. I would have expected that a chief executive would have those discussions with the minister, but I understand, from what we have been able to ascertain to date, that did not occur.

Mr Pisoni: Did you sign off, Grace?

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is called to order. A supplementary from the leader.
