PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYMENT

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:56): My question is again to the Premier. How can the Premier expect South Australian public servants, including those true believers who have been protesting outside on the steps of Parliament House today, to trust him after he cut their job entitlements and is likely to abandon his government's written promise that there will be no forced redundancies?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:57): I know you have a set list of questions which is why, because I was told of that, I decided to answer all of them at once, because we actually answered that question before. I do not expect to have to abandon our commitment on no forced redundancies, given the attrition rate and given the very generous nature of the separation packages that will be offered in a voluntary way.
