I refer to the answer to my question without notice 1658 of 9 December 2003 when the minister responded that he did not have any information on the number of teachers involved in inappropriate behaviour or relationships with children in the years 2001 to 2003 in non-government schools. (1) How can the minister justify his comments of last week when he stated that most of the incidents of sexual abuse against students took place in the non-government school system? (2) Will the minister give answers to the other details concerning government schools requested in my question of 9 December before this House goes into recess; and if not, how can the minister justify the fact that information on child abuse in government schools is not readily available?
