Child Protection, Rice Inquiry

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Has the minister thoroughly read the Rice review that was provided to the government over a week ago?

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:41): I welcome the question, unlike the former Labor minister, who hadn't read the report and actually chatted to a man in Bunnings who had written the report, as her way of knowing about the report. That was the mental health facilities report—Leesa Vlahos. I have read the report. I have read every word of the report. I have read it several times. I have gone through it with my CE. I have had meetings—

Ms Stinson: Why don't you know what's in it then?

The SPEAKER: Member for Badcoe!

The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —several meetings with my CE. As far as meeting with the guardian—

Mr Malinauskas interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the leader!

The Hon. R. SANDERSON: —I have regular meetings with the guardian. My office, my CE, has regular meetings with the guardian. She had a meeting as early as last Friday, and I am not aware of any requests for a meeting that have been ignored.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Reynell is seeking the call.
