Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (15:25): Supplementary: while you are getting that advice, could you also please find out how many of these were relinquished due to a lack of support given to the family?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (15:25): I think it's unlikely that that will be available. The reasons for people relinquishing their children tend to vary and I would be surprised if that data is collected in a form in which I could provide it to the chamber.
