Youth Death, Port Lincoln

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:27): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Did the two surviving boys spend last night with their families or in the care of DCP?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:27): I think I have made it very clear to this house that I will not be discussing individual cases or details.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: No—it might incriminate you.

The SPEAKER: The member for King will resume her seat for a moment. The Minister for Energy and Mining on a point of order.

The Hon. D.C. VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Yes. The Member for West Torrens interjected across the chamber that the minister's appropriate answer, which is not to share information, might incriminate her. I ask you to ask him to stand up, apologise and withdraw.

The SPEAKER: Did the Minister for Child Protection hear an interjection across the floor?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON: Absolutely I did, and I would ask the member to apologise and withdraw the comment.

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Child Protection, having asked the member for West Torrens to withdraw and apologise, I ask the member for West Torrens to do so.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Sir, I apologise and withdraw.
