Child Protection

Ms SANDERSON (Adelaide) (14:57): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. What actions have the government taken to ensure the safety of baby Evie when her sibling was removed due to safety concerns?

The SPEAKER: Is that sufficient information for the minister to answer the question?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills) (14:57): Well, it is an abbreviation, but I won't seek further information at this stage because it's inappropriate to discuss individual cases of children—I actually think children anyway, but specifically under guardianship. I will seek a briefing and determine what information I am able to provide in this public forum.
