          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:25):</by>  I thank the member for this important question. What I can report to the parliament is that multiple ministers received a briefing on this because many ministers are interested in this particular tragedy—and it is a tragedy—and I want to begin by acknowledging and sending my condolences to the family, to the friends and also to the broader Eyre Peninsula community who are all suffering at the moment. We wanted to make sure that straightaway services were provided to that family and that community through the Department of Human Services, through the Department for Child Protection and also through the Department for Education.</text>

        <text id="20210512be6b6c71f82b4e5a90000487">The Minister for Police has been in correspondence with SAPOL. They will be conducting a thorough investigation of this tragic incident and providing information to the Coroner. We await the information that flows from this investigation. I note the comments yesterday from the SAPOL officer that they were not aware of people sleeping rough like that in Port Lincoln. It seems to me on the surface that this is an extraordinarily unfortunate accident and incident, but we will await that investigation and we will take whatever action is necessary following that investigation.</text>
