Children in Care

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:58): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Is the minister aware of any children in care being looked after in hotels, motels, caravan parks or other temporary accommodation during her time as minister?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:58): I thank the member for her question. Certainly, in opposition this was something that I regularly questioned the former government on, because we know that under the Labor government many, many children spent too much time in caravan parks, motels, hotels and inappropriate accommodation. To the best of my knowledge, we have worked very hard in the just over two years of being in government to make sure that this no longer occurs. If it has occurred as a one-off, I am not aware of that, but I can certainly find out and come back to the house.
