Question Time

Youth Death, Port Lincoln

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:07): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Can the minister now confirm that the 11 and 12-year-old boys involved in the tragedy in Port Lincoln two days ago were in care? With your leave and that of the house, Mr Speaker, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Ms HILDYARD: Today's Advertiser states:

It is understood the two boys are living in state care and a missing person report was lodged with police about each of them.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:07): I think I made it quite clear yesterday that I won't be drawn on details of individual cases and I won't be responding.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before I call the member for Reynell, the member for West Torrens is warned. The member for Light is called to order.
