House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Child Protection Child Protection Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition Child Protection Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): My question is to the Attorney-General. Did the Attorney-General seek the advice of Commissioner Margaret Nyland regarding the child protection legislation proposals that he introduced yesterday? The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly 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 Child Protection 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) (14:31): I thank the honourable member for her question. I guess it depends a little bit on what you mean by seeking advice. My recollection is that there had been communications between me and my office and Commissioner Nyland indicating that the government would be responding to the report from the Coroner in the way that the cabinet determined, and so it is my recollection that that at least was formally communicated to her, and that of course indicated that we would be moving quickly to introduce legislation to give effect to the recommendations made by the Coroner. As to whether I have actually sat down with her with the bill, or amending bill, and taken her through each provision and asked her about those, no, I have not.
