CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with Mr Debelle's finding that a minister is entitled to expect that his ministerial adviser will inform him promptly of any matter of significance to the proper discharge of the responsibilities of his portfolio, particularly where those matters might be controversial or might become the subject of public debate or scrutiny in the parliament or in the media?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:32): Yes.
