Education and Child Development Department Employees

Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (14:54): Supplementary: will the minister now offer an apology to Jemima Raymond for what has happened to her?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:54): That is a reasonable question. I am never loath to offer apologies; however, I would prefer to have advice formally from the chief executive about the details of the procedures. You would be aware that it is not only one department that is involved when a prosecution is launched, so I will seek appropriate advice and act in accordance with that.
