Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time National Paedophile Register National Paedophile Register The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council National Paedophile Register The Hon. S.L. GAME (14:33): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before addressing a question to the Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, representing the Minister for Child Protection, regarding a national paedophile register. Leave granted. The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council The Hon. S.L. GAME: Federal funding has been in place to assist in creating an Australia-wide public paedophile register since 2019, yet only one jurisdiction, Western Australia, has taken steps to implement a state-based public register that would inform the national database. That register contains names and identification photos. The first step to a national register is properly compiling state-based registers. My questions to the minister representing the Minister for Child Protection are: 1.	What is your government doing right now to initiate a state-based public paedophile register? 2.	What details would be accessible within that register? 3.	What tangible actions can your government claim are taken to keep our children and young people safe from paedophiles based in South Australia and those moving to South Australia from other jurisdictions? The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for her question on this important topic. I will refer it to the Minister for Child Protection in the other place and bring back a reply.
