Child Protection

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:32): Supplementary: having been alerted to the circumstances that have been raised in the last 24 hours particularly, are you saying to the house, minister, that you are not going to do anything about that until we get a report maybe in August this year?

Mr Marshall: Already delayed.

Ms CHAPMAN: Twice!

The SPEAKER: Minister.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:33): I am not going to accept the premise of the question that I should be responding to something which has been allegedly said yesterday and which has been received by us via the media. However, if the suggestion is that we are doing nothing and we are not improving or changing our practice then that is untrue.

Mr Duluk interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I call the member for Davenport to order!
