SCHOOLS, FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:05): When was the Minister for Education and Child Development first made aware of the allegations of serious financial mismanagement at Murray Bridge High School, and when did the investigation begin?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:06): I first became aware of the issue in relation to Murray Bridge, from recollection, I think it was in March, and it was raised by a member in the other house. Sorry, what was the other part of your question?

Mr PISONI: When did the investigation begin?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Okay. I will come back to the house with an answer in relation to that. I am not sure when that commenced, but there were claims put to me in March by a person in the other house. I understand she was corresponded with and that the investigations were underway at that time.
