CHILD PROTECTION

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Supplementary, Madam Speaker: can the Attorney then inform us about what protections there will be for people giving evidence and whether the inquiry will be taking evidence on oath?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:30): I think it is the same question, and I think—

Mr Pisoni: You haven't answered it.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. P.F. Conlon: He actually did. He just didn't answer it the way you would like.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.R. RAU: That's right. He got the subtle point there. The position is quite simple. Mr Debelle has what he requires to do what he is required to do. If he finds that he does not, he will speak to me and we will deal with it.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. J.D. Hill: Come out and tell us who you voted for, Steven.

The SPEAKER: Order! If you wish to have a debate you can have it after question time. Order!

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Members on both sides, order! The member for Fisher.
