Child Protection

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): As a supplementary, sir, and this question is to the Minister for Child Protection Reform: how does the minister reconcile the fact that South Australia's child protection services have been described in Margaret Nyland's royal commission report as being in 'a state of disarray and crisis' with the fact that this government provides the lowest level of child protection services of all the states in this nation?

Mr Pisoni: Didn't need a royal commission for that.

The SPEAKER: The member for Unley is warned.

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:26): I think I have explained my position on this in answer to the last two questions and it remains the same.
