Child Protection

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:39): Yes, thank you. Can the minister advise, based on his briefing, when Families SA referred the matter to police?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:39): I would actually need to confirm those details, but, what I can say, in the very same briefing I received from the police—and it is very important and I have to be careful what I say in public—is that 'public release of information concerning the arrest at this time will impede the current and ongoing investigation'. So, like my colleague, I am taking the advice of police and being very careful what I say in public.
