Residential Care Facility Visits

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:38): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. When was the minister first made aware that the teenager she had spoken to had absconded from the facility, stolen a car, stolen petrol, broken into a home, led police on a dangerous pursuit all the way to the South Australian-Victorian border?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: standing order 97 doesn't allow a question anything like that.

The SPEAKER: On what basis? The Minister for Education, which part of the question are you taking—

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: There was a series of allegations made in that question that were not substantiated, nor was leave sought to make an explanation. Frankly, the entire question was out of order.

The SPEAKER: Argument and opinion; I uphold that point of order. I will move to the government. If the member for Badcoe would like to rephrase, I will give her another go. The member for Narungga.
