Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Mullighan Inquiry Recommendations MULLIGHAN INQUIRY RECOMMENDATIONS The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council MULLIGHAN INQUIRY RECOMMENDATIONS The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (15:50): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Leader of the Government representing the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs a question about the upcoming report on the implementation of the recommendations of the Mullighan inquiry. Leave granted. The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS Legislative Council The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS: I recently received correspondence from the Reverend Peter McDonald of UnitingCare Wesley. He, Jonathan Nicholls, and those at the paper tracker are concerned that at the last report there was an absence of any detailed information on funding commitments, the absence of any data on mandatory notifications, a failure to report consistently over time, the omission of key information, the publication of inaccurate and misleading information, a repetition and rehashing of earlier statements and a lack of a long-term plan. Also of concern is that no youth strategy is mentioned in the second report either. My questions to the minister are: 1.	Why does last year's report have so many holes in it? 2.	Can the minister ensure that none of the inadequacies of the last report will be repeated in this year's report? 3.	When does the minister expect this year's report to be tabled in parliament? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (15:50): I thank the honourable member for his important questions and will refer those to the relevant minister in another place and bring back a response.
