Safeguarding Taskforce

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Supplementary arising from the answer in relation to media reporting: is it still the case that the minister is solely relying on media reports as the source of information about this case?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:35): As I said on radio this morning, a slip of the tongue on talkback radio is the least of my concerns at the moment. I've been assimilating information from a range of sources, and there's clearly information that I have access to which is confidential and which I can't provide.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! Minister, please continue. The opposition will listen in silence. I want to hear the answer.

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK: I think it's important that we deal in matters of fact in this regard in relation to this matter, and everybody needs to be cautious about any suppositions they might make.
