House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Commissioner for Public Sector Employment Commissioner for Public Sector Employment Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition Commissioner for Public Sector Employment Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:10): I have a further supplementary. Was the Committee of Senior Management Council established to recommend a new commissioner for public sector employment, as the minister referred to in her answer, only established after the opposition first asked questions on 6 May this year? The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly Port Adelaide Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation Minister for Automotive Transformation Minister for the Public Sector Commissioner for Public Sector Employment The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:10): I think the house is very clear on the timing. Members interjecting: The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: What the question implies is that there is a causal relationship. I wish to remove that implication. Things can happen in a sequence of time that does not necessarily imply that one thing caused another—so as long as we all accept that as a basic fact. Once it became clear that the commissioner would not be continuing with his role I sought advice, and that occurred— Ms Redmond House of Assembly Ms Redmond: What date? The Hon. S.E. CLOSE House of Assembly The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: I can certainly bring back the exact dates to the house. But I sought advice and followed it. Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Mr MARSHALL: Can the minister clarify— The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes, third supplementary.
