Tregenza House

Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. When visiting the Tregenza centre, did the minister meet with young people?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:53): No. I did the first time in opposition but not the second time. When I noticed that that had been booked by the department at a time when children were at school, I have advised ever since then that the whole point of visiting residential care facilities is to meet with both the children and the staff, and that all visits should be conducted in after-school hours or during school holidays.
