Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:22): My question is to the Premier. Has the Premier been requested to appear in the child protection system's royal commission, and if so will he be attending?

The SPEAKER: Could we have the question again, please?

Mr Pisoni: Is that what that meant?

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:23): There are two royal commissions in relation to child protection: a federal one and a state one.

Ms Chapman: The state one.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: No, I haven't been requested to appear, but I certainly have met with the royal commissioner on an informal basis, and have on a number of occasions (or at least one occasion) with the Attorney. We would be more than happy to assist her in any way that she thought I could, but I haven't been asked to appear.
