Child Protection

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Just a point of clarification, sir—

The SPEAKER: Let's make it a supplementary.

Mr MARSHALL: Well, a supplementary. Did the minister request all departmental files and records herself to peruse?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:46): No, sir. These are matters that are being investigated by SAPOL. It is not appropriate for me to call up all records about a particular individual who is under investigation. What I have done is make sure that those records are secure in the department should SAPOL require any further information, and that they are available for a royal commission.
