Youth Death, Port Lincoln

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister asked the department to undertake an internal investigation into the care and oversight of the 11 and 12-year-old boys involved in the tragedy?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:52): I think I have made it quite clear that I won't be commenting on individual cases. As the Attorney-General has stated, there will be protocols coming back to the house regarding the significant incident reporting. As I have already stated to the house—and so has the Premier—several ministers were fully briefed regarding this incident.
