BONAROS:</by>  On a very serious note, news has just broken that a Parafield Gardens man is to face court over the death of a seven-week-old infant in July. According to media reports, police allege the infant sustained injuries while in the care of the man before being rushed to the Women's and Children's Hospital where he died six days later. My question to the minister is: was the infant in question and/or his family known to the Department for Child Protection?</text>

SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (15:26):</by>  I thank the honourable member for her question. It is a very important topic given the great sadness and tragedy that such a death is, I guess, in anyone's books. I am happy to take the question on notice and refer it to the minister in the other place and bring back a response.</text>
