Female Genital Mutilation

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (14:39): Supplementary: could the minister elaborate on why the Hon. Ms Franks' assertions are incorrect, because certainly I, and I assume other members, have been contacted by lobby groups that seem very much convinced that they are correct.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: And I did say pre-emptive protections.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:40): Again, I am more than happy to take this question on notice. It relates to an area that is outside of my portfolio area. I am more than happy to pass it on to the appropriate minister in the other place.
