The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Manufacturing Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Minister for Small Business THINKERS IN RESIDENCE The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Manufacturing, Innovation and Trade, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business): I have been advised that Thinkers receive a stipend consisting of accommodation, flights and a payment (fees). Fees are negotiated on a case-by-case basis and are deemed commercial-in-confidence. This confidentiality is critical so that competitive negotiations can take place at the beginning of each residency. Private industry partners are contributing $100,000 towards the cost of the 'Thinkers in Residence' program.
