House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Public Sector Wages PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES Mr GRIFFITHS House of Assembly Goyder PUBLIC SECTOR WAGES Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:57): I have a supplementary question, Mr Speaker. Therefore, Mr Treasurer, given your answer, why is it that the provision in 2009-10 for ministerial staff wages and salaries is increasing by 5.5 per cent? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I do not think that is a supplementary; I think it is a question. The Treasurer. The Hon. K.O. FOLEY House of Assembly Port Adelaide Deputy Premier Minister for Industry and Trade Minister for Federal/State Relations The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations) (14:57): Again, I will get that. I assume it passes on to your staff as well, because I know we have to indemnify Kevin Naughton, on the initial advice, for matters relating to defamation. So, I assume any wage increases for ministerial advisers would pass on to your staff as well. I will check that. Whether that is to do with the number of employees or whether it is actual wages outcome as it relates to previous agreements—sorry? An honourable member interjecting: The Hon. K.O. FOLEY House of Assembly The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: It's a good look. I will get an answer for the member.
