Child Protection Systems Royal Commission

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:16): Can the minister perhaps provide some clarity to the parliament as to when this recommendation from Margaret Nyland will actually be complete and the government will determine the ongoing suitability for employment in their role, as outlined in the recommendation?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:16): Again, this is a matter for the chief executive to manage; however, what is quite clear is that the suitability has been assessed and staff have been suspended. That is a resolution of the consideration of suitability. What happens from now on is a matter for industrial conditions to be followed.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks a further question, I warn the member for Morialta for the second and the final time. The minister's replies are not in the least provocative; there is no suggestion that they are debate, yet she is being met with a wall of interruptions. The next member of the opposition to utter anything outside standing orders during the Minister for Education's answer will be leaving, and if it is more than one member, so be it. Leader.
