CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:22): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier now tell the parliament whether his education adviser, Jadynne Harvey, advised him of the rape in December 2010 of the eight year old in a western suburbs school?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:22): I expect that Mr Debelle will address all of those questions.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr PISONI: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: Order! You have not heard the answer. What is your point of order?

Mr PISONI: The Premier can tell the parliament what he is going to tell Mr Debelle.

The SPEAKER: Thank you. You will take a seat. You can't order any member here to answer. Minister.

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI: I expect that these are the very matters that Mr Debelle will get to the bottom of, but let us remember that there is a very big difference between those of us on this side of the house and those on that side. We are motivated by the welfare, protection and care of children. We are in favour of full disclosure and Mr Debelle will assist us in this process.
