          <by role="member" id="4340">Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:21):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Why did the government believe that 21 Child Abuse Report Line notifications from various sources, including family, friends and caseworkers, was not sufficient justification to remove Chloe Valentine from her mother?</text>

          <by role="member" id="614">The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:22):</by>  I thank the member for Adelaide for her question. This matter is now being looked at by the Coroner, as we are aware. It is not the government that makes decisions about assessing reports that are made to the Child Abuse Report Line: it is qualified social workers who make those decisions.</text>
