The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:35): Supplementary, Mr President. I actually—

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Pangallo, you are going to have to be good to get a supplementary question out of his answer.

The Hon. F. PANGALLO: I am just going to clarify what I asked. I actually asked a question of the Attorney-General: as a parent with children at school, would you be happy if your children's school made a decision affecting your child without telling you or their mother?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (14:35): Sorry, I had taken that as a question for the minister. I think, from my point of view—and this is my personal point of view—the honourable member has answered the question in the statement he made himself, in terms of 'in the best interests of the child'.
