Question Time

Child Protection

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:15): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Can the minister assure the house that neither the minister nor her office knew about the rape and subsequent pregnancy of a 13-year-old girl until after the judge's sentencing remarks?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:16): I first became aware after the sentencing remarks last Tuesday.
