Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): A further question to the minister, if I may: what possible justification could there be for a Families SA executive withholding requested information from a royal commission?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:43): Rather than recite my understanding of the advice that was provided to the chief executive, I will seek to have a formal statement from the chief executive as to the nature of the explanation.
