129 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (31 July 2007). Why was there an increase of 1,012 Departmental full time employees in 2006-07 and how many were transferred over from the former DAIS?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy): I provide the following information:
