CHILD PROTECTION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:02): When did the minister become aware of correspondence between the head of schools and the wrongly accused student confirming that the teacher had been referred to the Teachers Registration Board?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:03): As I said, that is not what—

Mr Pisoni: Well, read it.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: No, you need to read it.

Mr PISONI: Read it. Read it into the Hansard.

The SPEAKER: No. The minister will not conduct banter across the chamber, and I warn her for the first time.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: Sir, is answering the question banter?

The SPEAKER: No, your answers are supposed to be through the Chair and you were referring to 'you', when clearly you did not mean me.

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE: In this particular instance, I restate that there was no criminal offending. I have read the email and it refers to certain circumstances in which matters are referred to the Teachers Registration Board. It did not say in this matter it was. Whether the wording of the email can be questioned or not, there are circumstances in which things are referred to the Teachers Registration Board. Generally that is around deregistering a teacher because of some sort of criminal act, and that was not the case in this circumstance.

The SPEAKER: A second supplementary.
