CHILD PROTECTION INQUIRY

Mr PISONI (Unley) (15:12): My question is to the Minister for Education and Child Development. Was the parent who received a briefing on the Debelle inquiry correct when she stated yesterday, in relation to her personal briefing with the education minister, and I quote: 'I did leave there...with the understanding that heads will roll'?

The Hon. J.M. RANKINE (Wright—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:13): I was asked this question by the media yesterday also, and my response is the same: I have never used words like that in any briefing with any parents. I take seriously, however, the failings that have been identified by this inquiry. Mr Bartley is aware how seriously I take them. We expect that he does a thorough assessment and goes through the proper procedures in dealing with any disciplinary actions that need to be undertaken.
