          <by role="member" id="1804">Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:40):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. What action has been taken against Mr Etienne Scheepers after commissioner Nyland recorded on page 65 of her report, and I quote, 'There has been a failure to comply with a summons to produce the Nathan case study report documents in breach of section 11(1)(f) of the Royal Commissions Act 1917'?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4622">The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:41):</by>  There were some queries about Mr Scheepers' performance, and others, that were raised in the Nyland report that related to the question, I think the term used may have been 'bleaching', of a report that was provided to the commissioner. She was dissatisfied with the version of the report she was provided with. The chief executive informed me earlier today that he has finalised an investigation into that matter and that he is satisfied that there was no intention to mislead the royal commission and that it was a matter of a miscommunication between the department and the commission, and he has accepted that explanation.</text>
