          <by role="member" id="5376">Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:29):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Will the minister commit to informing other government agencies of people who fail the mandatory psychological testing for residential care facilities? With your leave and with that of the house, I will explain, sir.</text>
