          <by role="member" id="1807">Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:59):</by>  My question is again to the Premier. Did the government seek to make changes to the Clayton-Walsh report to influence its recommendations? The Clayton-Walsh report compared South Australia's WorkCover scheme only with New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland, yet Mr Clayton's recent report to the Tasmanian government on that state's scheme includes comparisons with all states and territories, including the more generous and efficient Comcare scheme.</text>

WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Finance, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:59):</by>  I thank the shadow minister for his question. I think that Mr Clayton and Mr Walsh would say that this is an independent report and that they have been allowed and able to go ahead with their business.
