CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): A further supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: This is a third supplementary; let's just make it a question.

Mr MARSHALL: I'm happy to—

The SPEAKER: Do you want to ask the question?

Mr MARSHALL: Yes, I do. I just would ask that the minister provide some further clarification around the investigation that the department undertook. You said that the department interviewed five people. Was the original alleged victim interviewed, and were the parents of any of the students interviewed as part of that initial investigation?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:57): No, what I said was staff from the school spoke with students who had made allegations against a particular student, and the records indicate that all of the parents of those students were contacted by the school.

Mr Marshall: Including the original alleged victim?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: That is the advice that is in the records. As I have said, that is now a matter that is being contested by the family and, as a result of that, I have asked the chief executive officer to contact the family so that we can get to the bottom of that.
