CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Can the minister advise the house the reasons for education executive Jan Andrews not having her contract renewed?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (14:55): That was totally the prerogative of the chief executive officer and I understand that he has expressed some of the reasons in his more recent media conference when he announced that the contract would not be renewed. It had no influence from me whatsoever.

Mr PISONI: Point of order, sir: my question was for the minister to inform the house, not to refer to media.

The SPEAKER: The point of order is entirely bogus and the member for Unley is warned for the first time. The member for Frome.
