CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. When did the minister become aware of allegations that a northern suburbs out-of-school-hours care worker inappropriately touched students?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:48): I was in a discussion with the department about this issue briefly late last week. I am happy to go back and check the date of any files coming through to my office, but the best of my recollection was it was late last week.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary.
