Child Protection

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:38): My question is again to the Minister for Child Protection. Minister, why was a 21-day-old baby enabled to go home from hospital with a person facing multiple criminal charges relating to child abuse?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (14:39): If I may just advise that, in relation to this line of questioning, I am assuming it is the same 21-day-old baby that's referred to in the previous question. On that basis, again I just refer to my previous answer.
