          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:15):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by the comments he made publicly today that, and I quote, 'I don't think anybody is talking about the Debelle inquiry anymore,' and can he guarantee that all the recommendations from the Debelle inquiry have been 100 per cent implemented?</text>

          <by role="member" id="1812">The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (15:15):</by>  My remarks were made in the context of the chief executive, who was the chief executive of the Department for Education in the context of his performance as chief executive of education. I made the remark that it's not a matter of current controversy, the question of the Debelle inquiry. There are still obviously incidents that occur from time to time, but they are now handled in accordance with the Debelle protocols.</text>
        <text id="20160622bfcd716c880647cf90000650">So, there is not a contemporary issue of public controversy. If there was, those opposite would be asking questions about it on a daily basis; I am certain of that. That was the point that I was seeking to make. As for the recommendations, I am advised that they have been implemented. Whether every single one of them has been implemented in full, I will have to check on that, but I understand they have been substantially implemented.</text>
