In reply to the Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (13 November 2012).

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised of the following:

The enclosed letter was sent out by the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment on 25 January 2012 to all Chief Executives reinforcing the importance of the Code of Ethics for all South Australian government employees. [Letter Provided to Member]

Also attached is a guideline issued in December 2010 to assist employees and agencies of the Public Sector to determine behaviour, primarily in relation to the receipt of gifts and benefits in the course of employment activities but also in relation to the giving of gifts by public sector employees to others.
