Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): A supplementary, if I may, sir.

The SPEAKER: The member for Bragg will not tap her glass as if time is up when time is not up.

Ms CHAPMAN: I apologise for that, sir.

The SPEAKER: Thank you.

Ms CHAPMAN: I can indicate that it was certainly not my intention to even touch my glass. My supplementary, to the Attorney-General, is: did the Attorney-General seek and/or obtain advice from Commissioner Nyland about changes he proposes to the Youth Court by legislation?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:44): I believe I did have a discussion with Commissioner Nyland at some stage about matters relating to the Youth Court, and I believe I took her through what the proposals were. I think that was done on a reasonably informal basis.
