CHILD PROTECTION

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): Supplementary question: can the minister explain why, after a rape, it has taken two years for the department to recognise that it has obligations towards the victim and his family? How certain is she that there has, in fact, been a meeting organised, as she says?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! I will consider that another question, also. You are doing very well today. Minister.

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development) (14:25): To be clear, there are two different events we are talking about. I am now referring to the matter that the Premier referred to earlier in relation to children and conduct between children. I am advised that a meeting is scheduled for today. In relation to the other event, we all know what has transpired there.
