Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:52): My question again is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Will the minister now order a review of all cases where there are multiple or more than a certain number of tier 2 notifications of suspected child abuse?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform) (14:52): As members would be aware, the government some time ago has established a royal commission looking into these matters with Commissioner Nyland. I think the matters that are now being traversed are matters which really are within the purview of her inquiries. If the member for Adelaide wishes those inquiries to take into account some matter or another, she is obviously entitled, as any of us are, to communicate with Commissioner Nyland and express her views; and that's really the appropriate place for this to be dealt with presently.
