Child Protection

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:43): Supplementary, sir: what is the time frame for the government arriving at a position on this specific recommendation? While the minister is on her feet, can she also clarify the comments relating to this recommendation made by the Premier?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:43): Sorry, I missed the second question about the Premier, but the time frame for all of the remaining recommendations is the end of the year, as recommended by Margaret Nyland. She has indicated that we ought to take the remainder of the year to work through the response, and so that one will form part of that.

Whether there are any recommendations where the community response is so strong that they ask us to take even longer to create greater certainty about the safeguards around a recommendation such as that one, I genuinely don't know. I have attended some of the consultations, but I haven't attended all of them, so I don't have a strong sense of where people are sitting on that recommendation at present.
