RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:50):</by>  The circumstances in relation to Chloe Valentine, I think it is fair to say, have shocked all South Australians. She was a dear little girl who is no longer with us through clear acts of stupidity. The people who were responsible for her death are now in gaol.</text>
        <text id="20141203466185d2b77649fb80000654">We have a stringent regime around people who are licensed to operate chauffeured vehicles and also taxi vehicles. These people have to come from an accredited passenger vehicle service, whether it is a taxi bus or some other chauffeured vehicle. They need to have a valid DCSI working-with-children check, and the services that are contracted to Families SA are required by law to ensure all their drivers have the relevant clearances.</text>
