DEPARTMENT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT - ROYAL COMMISSION
I have a supplementary question. In light of the fact that of the deaths identified by the Child Death Review Committee 52 were children who had contact with the Department for Community Development, and in light of the damning and tragic statistics, will the Premier agree to a royal commission into these matters? Mr A.J. CARPENTER
