SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:13):</by>  What I can let the house know, as I already indicated, is that there were 279 vacancies when I became the minister in 2018. We now have over 244 extra social workers and 53 extra case managers and have filled the vast majority of the vacancies that were held for years—empty—under the former government.</text>
