Question Time

Families SA Careworkers

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:45): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Will 180 Families SA careworkers going on strike affect the government's ability to protect and care for our most vulnerable children?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:45): I appreciate the question as this is a very important area of service delivery. My understanding is that the industrial action being undertaken by the family careworkers will not affect the services to children.
