¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, an inappropriate remark about the child’s mental health was uttered by the Hon. Minister. That word must be expunged from the Hansard. Hon. Minister, you should apologize to society. As the Minister for Women and Child Affairs, you should not have said it—whether true or not, it should not have been said in haste. I refrained from naming the child.
