          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:25):</by>  The contact with the parents was not at my instigation; it certainly was instigated, however, by the department, obviously concerned about both highlighting the issues around the media but also in an endeavour to advise these parents. I am not apprised of what difficulties or processes may have had to have been undertaken to locate the parents, but I am happy to get a report and come back to the house.</text>
