          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:31):</by>  On 25 July when I gave an interview on ABC radio I was speaking about his employment, and what I said was that there was no criminal history and no child protection notifications. What I said on multiple occasions was that I could not talk about the allegations about a care concern relating to this employee after his employment. So, I have spoken about the assessments that were taken in relation to this employee at the time of his employment and I have been very circumspect since that time about anything that I could say in relation to his employment record since that time.</text>
