          <by role="member" id="4340">The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:45):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker. I have visited many and multiple residential care facilities, both government and non-government, and I have many conversations with children who want to speak to me. If they are not wanting to speak to me, they would stay in their room. They welcome the conversation. I hear their concerns, their hopes for their future and I will advocate and I will listen to their voice and I will continue to do so regardless of what the opposition has to say.</text>
