MINISTERIAL STATEMENT: ONLINE PREDATORY BEHAVIOUR
Extracted from Hansard- House of Assembly 23 September 2020
I seek leave to make a ministerial statement.
Leave granted.
Yesterday, I was asked about the timing of who knew about the 13-year-old girl being a victim of a predator and, in particular, when the Chief Executive of Child Protection, my office or myself became aware. These questions were and are distasteful and insensitive. When the chief executive or I knew about this incident is irrelevant to ensuring adequate care and support was provided to this young girl.
