WORKCOVER CORPORATION

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:56): My question is again to the Premier. On what advice did WorkCover spend $850,000 on coffee mugs, stress toys and show bags as a means of improving the corporation's performance?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:57): The honourable member having asked a question of that type, I will get that detail for him. If those figures are correct, we will find that out.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT: To the best of my knowledge, I have not had that figure put to me before today.

The Hon. P.F. Conlon: Did your brains trust get together on that?

The SPEAKER: Order!
