Commissioner for Public Sector Employment

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:14): This question is to the Minister for the Public Sector. Why did Ms Ranieri tell staff of the Office of Public Employment and Review, and the Public Sector Workforce Relations Agency, prior to the convening of the Senior Management Council Selection Panel that she would be taking over as Commissioner for Public Sector Employment from 1 July 2014?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:14): I have absolutely no evidence that that occurred. If you have some evidence I would appreciate it if you could provide it to me.

Mr Gardner: Ask her.

The SPEAKER: The member for Morialta will not encourage the leader openly—

Mr Gardner: I was encouraging the minister.

The SPEAKER: —nor the minister—and is called to order. The leader.
