Guardianship Orders

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Since March 2018, how many carers have discontinued their applications for long-term guardianship?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:53): I would have to take that on notice, but I know that there has been a net increase of 46, which is the largest ever. We have plenty more before the court, so there are a lot in the pipelines as well, and I am very pleased with the way the department has been handling this.
