Ms SANDERSON House of Assembly Ms SANDERSON: I can ask it without the piece of paper, if you prefer. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes, that would be good. Ms SANDERSON House of Assembly Ms SANDERSON: Will the minister now approve a secure therapeutic facility for children, as recommended by both Ted Mullighan and the royal commission? The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly Port Adelaide Minister for Education and Child Development Minister for Higher Education and Skills The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:37): Yes, we have canvassed the topic of a secure facility for children under guardianship for some time here, and it was extensively looked into by Margaret Nyland in her royal commission. As members will be aware, her view was that we should continue to do more work on that. Recognising that there are a number of different views about it in the community is one of the actions that we are undertaking at present. We will reach a view alongside the community and, in particular, those who represent children under guardianship about the most appropriate way to move forward, whether or not it is indeed a secure facility or what form of secure facility it is, what conditions there are contingent upon having a child locked up and the protections for the child in the situation that we do proceed with that process. Ms SANDERSON House of Assembly Ms SANDERSON: A further supplementary? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: We have a limit of three on supplementaries. Ms SANDERSON House of Assembly Ms SANDERSON: New question? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Unley.
