          <by role="member" id="4846">Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:32):</by>  My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister asked her department who was first notified about the rape and subsequent pregnancy of a 13-year-old girl under their guardianship and who they informed?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4340">The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:32):</by>  As we know, this terrible incident has occurred and all of the services and everything that could be done for this young girl were the most important thing. Obviously, our online procedures and policies were how the residential care workers found out that something had occurred. They notified the police. They wrapped around services and looked after the best interests of the child. That was their primary responsibility and that is what I expect. Telling who at what time was not on their mind. Looking after the child was on their mind and it's a shame that that is not on the mind of the opposition.</text>
