EASLING, MR T.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:24): My question is to the Minister for Families and Communities. Given the minister's statement to the house regarding Tom Easling that 'we had people going into that house and finding semi-naked boys in his bed' and a statement to The Independent Weekly that in making those comments 'she relied on documentation provided by the department's special investigations unit', can the minister explain how no document provided to Mr Easling or his representatives by the government has any reference to any suggestion by any person ever that semi-naked boys were found in Mr Easling's bed?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Families and Communities, Minister for Northern Suburbs, Minister for Housing, Minister for Ageing, Minister for Disability) (15:25): I thank the member for Davenport for his question. In response to a barrage of interjections whilst the member for Davenport asked the question to which he refers, I used my own words to summarise information that was in my possession in relation to the allegations.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Davenport.
