Small Business Commissioner

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:57): Given that the investigation by the Crown Solicitor's Office started over three and a half months ago, on at least 14 April, can the minister advise why the small business commissioner tendered his resignation on 25 July?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:58): No, I can't. You would have to ask the former small business commissioner why he decided to do that, and it is a matter for him. But I do point out to the house that no finding has been found against him so far.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: Supplementary, sir?

The SPEAKER: Yes, member for Stuart.
