Question Time

Residential Care Facility Visits

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:11): Unsurprisingly, my question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister inquired—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms STINSON: Do you want to hear the question?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Let's hear the question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Badcoe has the call.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I cannot hear the question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on my right! The member for Badcoe has the call. She will be heard in silence. The member for Badcoe, please ask the question.

Ms STINSON: Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister inquired about the welfare of the teenager who absconded and went on a crime spree after the minister's visit to his residential care home in mid April?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: standing order 97. The member presupposes a lot in her question, and she is not entitled to do so.

The SPEAKER: I will allow the question in this instance. Would the Minister for Child Protection like to have a go at that? The Minister for Child Protection will be heard in silence or members will be departing today. The Minister for Child Protection has the call.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:12): As the member knows, it is completely inappropriate to discuss individual cases, and I won't be at this time.

The SPEAKER: Member for Badcoe.
