House of Assembly Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time GM Holden GM HOLDEN Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Bragg Deputy Leader of the Opposition GM HOLDEN Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): My question again is to the Premier. As there was a minimum jobs guarantee as part of the Premier's previous $50 million funding package with Holden and the Premier has indicated that he will be meeting with Holden this week, will there be a minimum jobs guarantee as part of a new funding package? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts GM HOLDEN The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:42): I thank the honourable member for her question. I am not going to indicate here the approach that I am going to be taking to those negotiations, except to say— Members interjecting: The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Because it would not be in the interests of the South Australian community for me to enter into a commentary on the stance that I will be taking in discussions with General Motors. It would not assist the relationship, it would not assist us in reaching the agreement that we need to reach. Can I say that, in relation to all of these matters, our principal focus in the short term, and certainly the focus of the discussions I will be having with Mr Devereux later this week, will be on the 400 workers who will find themselves without employment should General Motors proceed with their plans from 1 August. That will be my focus, and we will also be dealing, in a timely fashion, with the broader issues about the co-investment package.
