Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:25): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Has the minister read the Hyde review, completed in October 2014?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:25): No, I haven't. The Hyde review predates my time as minister. I understand it was a subject of cabinet confidence.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: What is important about the Hyde review, as opposed to other—

Mr Duluk interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Davenport is very close to leaving under the sessional orders, and I wouldn't want to throw him out because it might be thought I was doing it in revenge for Sunday, which I'm not.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: While the other reports that have been referenced in those lively interjections have been public reports into the system of child protection in its various guises, the Hyde review was in essence an internal investigation of the recruitment practices of the department. The recommendations made by Mr Hyde were acted on and, as Margaret Nyland noted in her report where she deals with this matter, she supports the recruitment processes which we have in place this year. It is most important that we have recruitment processes that the royal commission endorses.
