Youth Death, Port Lincoln

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): A supplementary question to the Premier: can the Premier advise the house if the police investigation and the report they are preparing for the Coroner is the only inquiry that is currently being undertaken with regard to the Port Lincoln tragedy?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:20): I thank the leader for his question with regard to this. As I indicated, the Child Death and Serious Injury Committee could choose to conduct an inquiry. That is not at the direction of the government, as the leader would be aware; they form that opinion themselves.

To the best of my knowledge, the Coroner will obviously conduct his investigation, but that will be informed by the police investigation currently underway. The Child Death and Serious Injury Committee could form their own view that they would also like to conduct an inquiry. There are a number of bodies in South Australia that could look at this tragedy. The investigation we are currently aware of is, of course, the police investigation.
