Families SA Internal Audit

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:04): Thank you. My supplementary is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Why does it take a comprehensive audit from a former police commissioner to expose flaws in Families SA's screening and ongoing monitoring of staff?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development) (15:04): We undertook this audit because of the circumstance of a Families SA person being charged by police in relation to seven children in our care. I think it is absolutely proper that we do this.

Mr van Holst Pellekaan interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Stuart is called to order. Leader.
