Department of the Legislative Assembly, Northern Territory Government

Ms CARTER - 2003-10-08

Minister, you recently announced that you are going to do a review of the Child Protection Unit that sits within your department. Given the important nature of the things that unit looks at, such as child abuse, why are you not going to make that report public?

ANSWER

Madam Speaker, I am a bit curious about this question. I have never indicated that the report would not be public. In fact, I am very happy to make that report public. There is no report at this stage, of course; the work started about two months ago. When these reports are finalised, I would be very happy to provide them to the House, and also provide a personal briefing to the member for Port Darwin.
