Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Supplementary to the Premier: if it has so little work to do, or it is anticipated would have so little work to do, why wasn't that little bit of work reported in the annual reports ever since?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier) (14:40): That's a matter about which we will take on notice, but if it was never used, if the section was never used there will be very little to report, but I do accept that if there was indeed an undertaking to report how many times it's used it would have been appropriate to have in the annual report a section to that effect with the words 'nil' or 'zero' next to it. So, to the extent that that hasn't happened then that's something which was a failing.

Members interjecting:

Ms CHAPMAN: I just have one other question, sir.

The SPEAKER: Before the deputy leader does so, I warn the leader, I warn for the first time the member for Heysen and I call to order the member for Hartley.
