Question Time

FAMILIES SA

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON (14:52): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the minister representing the Attorney-General and the Minister for Families and Communities a question.

Leave granted.

The Hon. A. BRESSINGTON: Will the Attorney-General and the Minister for Families and Communities undertake an investigation to deal with the matters raised by Mr John Ternezis and his lawyers in a document that was the equivalent of a public disclosure statement in October 2007, relating to abuse of public office, lack of enforcement of court orders (specifically Youth Court orders), lack of professional application of policy and procedures of case workers in Families SA, and the placement of a child in moral danger and harbouring?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:53): I suggest that the honourable member provide me with information relevant to that case and I will refer it to the Attorney-General and/or the Minister for Families and Communities, whoever is appropriate. I am not familiar with any of the information in respect of that matter.
