Child Protection

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:29): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister been advised by her department about the appropriateness of members of the public being able to inspect and select a child to take home?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:29): I don't recall having a specific discussion on that topic, but we certainly know that under 16 years of Labor there was huge failure in child protection, as well documented in the Layton review, the two Mullighan inquiries, the Debelle inquiry and the recent Nyland royal commission. What I will be doing is putting the best interests of children at the heart of every decision I make.
