Child Protection

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:44): Supplementary: given the minister's previous answer, how can the minister say that the policy updated in January 2019 worked when, in January 2020, a 13-year-old girl was raped by a paedophile while under state government care?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:44): It's not a supplementary, but the fact that the residential care worker actually was given the phone, which is part of the policy, and noticed a password had been changed, which is also part of the protocols, shows that the policy was working. That's why they notified the police and now the offender is arrested.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Before I call the member for Kavel, I call to order the member for Hurtle Vale and I call to order the Minister for Education. Member for Kavel.
