Child Protection Department Budget

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Have the additional savings required of the Department for Child Protection in the government's second budget, the 2019-20 budget, been delivered? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: In the government's second budget, the 2019-20 budget, over $5 million a year of additional savings were required from the department in addition to the previous year's budgeted savings.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (15:04): We have a budget and estimates process where this line of questioning is really the correct place. You can save it for then.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The leader will not interject in the course of the minister's answer. The member for Lee is seeking the call.
