WORKCOVER CORPORATION

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:51): Can the Premier advise the house what will be the expected value of transactions under current contract agreements between WorkCover and the organisation of a current board member, Ms Sandra De Poi, of De Poi Consultancy Services, this financial year? The WorkCover SA Annual Report 2006-07 (page 90) states:

Ms Sandra De Poi, of De Poi Consultancy Services, has a current contract with WorkCover for the provision of rehabilitation services. The value of transactions during the year ended 30 June 2007 was $2,125,953.

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:52): Sandra De Poi is a very valuable member of the WorkCover Board. Since she has been on that board, it is my understanding (this is what I have been advised by the chair), that, if and when it is appropriate, she declares a conflict of interest. With regard to the specifics, I do not have that detail, but I will obtain it for the member.
