Child Protection

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:06): Supplementary, Mr Speaker: other than notifying the Attorney-General, what specific actions did the Minister for Child Protection take in response to being notified of more than one young person in relation to unlawful sexual intercourse?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:07): As it states in my ministerial statement, the focus of this correspondence was on the criminal penalties associated with offending of this nature. It did not at all refer to the failure, or a failure, of care or identify any specific circumstances.
