Parental Alienating Behaviours

The Hon. S.L. GAME (15:13): Supplementary: I personally know many extremely wonderful and good parents who are being affected by parental alienating behaviours and—

The Hon. R.A. SIMMS: On a point of order: it is not a supplementary. The honourable member is simply expressing a view, she is not asking a question of the minister.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Game, if you are going to ask a supplementary question, you just ask a question—there is no explanation.

The Hon. S.L. GAME: Does the Attorney acknowledge that many innocent parents are suffering the effects of parental alienating behaviours?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:13): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have not been presented with any studies that do a comprehensive review that would allow me to draw such a conclusion.
