          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:40):</by>  Thank you, sir. I am not going to do that because, by ruling something out, you put a focus on other aspects of advice that Mr Waterford had provided, and I am not going to do it. It is not because I have anything to cover up. I was given inaccurate information; we have said that publicly. Mr Waterford has taken responsibility for his mistakes. Let me go back again: our concern should be for these children; our concern should be for these families. Our concern should be making sure that we do everything we can to support the police investigation and making sure that justice is done when this matter comes to the courts.</text>
