Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): My question is again to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Has the minister received a request from Mr Harrison for any extra resources to support compliance with the direction given by the Attorney, and tabled here yesterday, that officers of the department are to comply with the provisions of the Children's Protection Act, including section 20(2)?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:27): No, the chief executive has not asked for more resources as a result of the implementation of the coronial inquest.

Ms CHAPMAN: Supplementary.

The SPEAKER: Yes; that is twice as many questions in the first 15 minutes as the Rann opposition received in an entire question time under the Brown and Olsen governments. Supplementary, deputy leader.
