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 Deputy Leader of the Opposition Child Protection Mr TEAGUE (Heysen—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Supplementary arising from the answer: has the minister spoken to Belinda Valentine since Belinda Valentine wrote to all parliamentarians in the terms that I have described to the house? The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD House of Assembly Reynell Minister for Child Protection Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Child Protection The Hon. K.A. HILDYARD (Reynell—Minister for Child Protection, Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence) (15:01): I haven't spoken to Belinda Valentine today but I have spoken to her many times and I appreciate the conversations, the in-depth conversations, that we have had. As I said, I have spoken with Ms Valentine, I respect her, I appreciate her views, I appreciate the views of a diverse group of people with direct experience of the child protection and family support system. I have been listening, I will keep listening. I note that the shadow minister did not have any amendments when the bill he refers to passed through this house—no amendments whatsoever—no amendments here in this house. I presume that there won't be any from those opposite in the Legislative Council, but I look forward to those amendments that I understand may come from the crossbench, and to considering them—of course we will.
