Child Protection

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): In relation to clarification of the comments made by the Premier regarding this recommendation, can you reconcile those comments with your comments to the house just now? Just for clarity, the minister is saying that she is not aware of the Premier's public comments regarding this specific recommendation regarding a secure therapeutic care facility, as recommended not only by Margaret Nyland but of course by commissioner Mullighan.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:44): I will have to refresh my memory on the detail. If you are not going to give it to me as part of the question, then forgive me for not being able to answer it.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: If the only the Premier 'were' here—it's in the subjunctive.
