Child Protection, Rice Inquiry

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:48): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Minister, do you agree your serious failures outlined in the Rice review have undermined public confidence—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms HILDYARD: —in the child protection system?

The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell will resume her seat.

Ms HILDYARD: With your leave and that of the house—

The SPEAKER: The member for Reynell will resume her seat.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Minister for Energy and Mining on a point of order.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Mr Speaker, we have been through this many times. No member gets to make an outrageous assertion—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: —and then ask for leave from the house afterwards.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The question as it's presently framed offends against standing order 97. I will give the member for Reynell an opportunity to rephrase. And in anticipation of the seeking of any necessary leave, I would remind the member for Reynell of the opportunity to do so.
