ADELAIDE ZOO BOARD

The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (17:52): I seek leave to make a personal explanation.

Leave granted.

The Hon. I.F. EVANS: During question time I raised a question about a Treasury officer being on the zoo board. The Treasurer has advised me that the Treasury officer has recently been appointed to the zoo board. Mr Hobbs had previously been appointed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources onto the zoo board, and then after that had been elected by the membership in his own right to the zoo board. So, I wish to correct the record so that Mr Hobbs is not unduly criticised for that issue. I think it is only fair that I correct the record, because the information given to me was that he was representing, at that time, the Department of Treasury and Finance. I just correct the record for the house.
