CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:38): For clarity, sir: the SAPOL advice to the parents was to make a complaint regarding breaches of the mandatory reporting requirements and that, under the Child Protection Act, they would need to go back to the education department.

The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:39): I am unaware that that advice was proffered. The briefing that I have received indicates that the meeting that occurred on 13 June between the Sturt CIB and the parents was to explain the process.

The SPEAKER: A supplementary?
