CHILD PROTECTION

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:18): I have a further supplementary question. Has the minister's office asked her department why the minister was not informed that the family made this request to the complaints unit on 25 June this year and, if not, why not; and if yes, what was the response?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:18): It was only located last evening, as I understand it. People were not telling me about things that they did not know about. The chief executive did not know about it; I did not know about it; it was an email that was forwarded to one person in the department.

The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks the next question, the leader does not need encouragement from the member for Finniss, and I call him to order. I also warn the member for Heysen and warn that serial troublemaker, the member for Kavel.
