Deputy Speaker, it is very insulting and unfortunate for a member of this House to have the audacity to refer to me saying "I", as if I am responsible for the cases myself. I must say that issues of rape and sexual abuse are matters which are very close to me, and I agree with the member that it is quite worrying that teachers could find themselves in these positions, when they are in positions of being trusted. It is, as I have said, a very unfortunate and quite worrying situation, in the light of the scourge of rape and sexual abuse in our country.
Having said that, as a Minister - concerned as I am, like her - I am also governed by law. So, we need to follow legal procedures, which sometimes are unfortunate; they let us down. I can say to the member that she can rest assured that it is one of the matters that I follow up on with SACE, but I am bound by laws and procedures. I cannot just make my rules and laws and force people not to follow procedures. I agree with her. It is actually a matter of concern. I can assure the member that I do, especially in such matters, take a personal interest but, as I say, I am also bound by laws and procedures that are set up on how such matters are to be handled.
