I have a supplementary question. Does the minister understand that these serious health problems will continue until the offending child abusers are arrested and removed from the community? Mr J.A. McGINTY

Yes. I would have thought that was painfully obvious to everyone. That is why we have done something about it. We have moved to introduce the recommendations made by Magistrate Sue Gordon in her inquiry that a sexually transmitted infection in a child should involve mandatory reporting. We have done that. I would have thought the reasons we have done that were painfully obvious.
