Child Protection Department

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Is the minister aware her deputy chief executive has revealed five departmental staff are the subject of CARL reports? With your leave, and that of the house, Mr Speaker, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Ms HILDYARD: In evidence to the Budget and Finance Committee last week, the Deputy Chief Executive of the Department for Child Protection, Ms Fiona Ward, indicated that the department had received up to five CARL reports in the past two years relating to staff.

The Hon. R. SANDERSON (Adelaide—Minister for Child Protection) (14:52): There was extensive questioning in the Legislative Council's Budget and Finance Committee, and it appears that the member for Reynell has a copy of that information, just as I do. I am not sure why you are asking me to read a report you could read yourself.
