Mr ELFERINK - 2001-10-25
Madam Speaker, this week the member for Sanderson described in this House the situation where he became aware of a child in need of care, and I shall quote from Tuesday’s Hansard: ‘She spoke to me in what I perceived to be a drug-induced state’. He then goes on to say: ‘I looked down and saw this young child who was trying to look after their parent, and I looked at the house which was still pretty well unkempt, and I left. I walked out of there, that was all I could do’. As I understand it, a matter of such importance is a requirement by law to report such matters to an authority. Was such a report ever made? Now that she was made aware of it on Tuesday, what has she done about it since, and what is she going to do about that situation?
ANSWER
Madam Speaker, I thank the honourable member for his question. I shall refer it to my department.
