Children in Residential Care

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:43): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. What progress has the minister made in introducing etiquette or deportment classes for young people in residential care, and what does she see as the benefits of such a program?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:43): I thank the member for her question. There are no plans for those courses; however, having a business in that industry for 18½ years, I have absolutely seen the benefits. Many of the past students work in this house, many of the members of parliament of this house have sent their children to do these exact courses multiple times. Thank you.
