CHILD PROTECTION

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): My question is again to the Minister for Education and Child Development. For how long and at how many other locations in the South Australian education system did convicted sex offender Mark Christopher Harvey work prior to his arrest, and have parents at those locations been notified and, if not, why not?

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:12): I am very happy, if it is appropriate, bearing in mind the things I have outlined in this place before—the desire not to prejudice any ongoing investigation or prosecution, the desire to protect children at the heart of these investigations and the desire for parents and communities to know—to come back to the leader having taken advice in relation to that matter.

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Unley, order!
