House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Child Protection Child Protection Mr TEAGUE House of Assembly Heysen Child Protection Mr TEAGUE (Heysen) (14:46): My question is to the Premier. How many rapid welfare checks have been carried out since the Premier's announcement? The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Premier Child Protection The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:46): I understand that there is an intention to start the rollout of those rapid welfare checks tomorrow. When I spoke to the police commissioner earlier today, he explained to me the process that is being gone through to be able to get us to that point. Like I said, the intention or aspiration is to be in a position to start that by the end of tomorrow. They are working as quickly as possible. It needs to be done thoughtfully and methodically. I don't want to give anything away operationally that I am not supposed to speak to, but in respect of the 500-odd task not surprisingly a very significant number of those children are known to the state government in some form, and making sure that it is done in a coordinated way, particularly when we are doing it with multiple agencies, does require effort. However, the exercise is being done as quickly as possible and, like I said, there is an aspiration for that to start tomorrow. I don't want that to be interpreted as a commitment or a guarantee that it will start tomorrow, but that's certainly what is being worked towards. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! Of three members, I recognise the member for Heysen on a supplementary and then I will turn to the member for Playford.
