In reply to the Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (26 June 2013).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised of the following:

Under an agreement, the government is committed to provide an annual capital contribution of $115,000 (indexed) plus GST until 2014 to ANZSOG.

There are two key programs:

Executive Fellows Program; and

Two-year Executive Master of Public Administration.

There have been 24 participants in the Executive Fellows Program (approximate current cost per participant $29,100, excluding travel but including accommodation).

Eleven participants have undertaken the Executive Master of Public Administration (approximate current cost per participant $43,500 excluding travel but including accommodation).

ANZSOG also provides a number of seminars and conferences throughout the year. Approximately 85 South Australian attendees participated in ANZSOG short courses in 2012-13.
