House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Employee Ombudsman Employee Ombudsman Mr PISONI House of Assembly Unley Employee Ombudsman Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:56): Supplementary, sir: can the Deputy Premier then advise the house why there is no reference to Mr Brennan as an employee of the Employee Ombudsman in the annual report, and did he sign off on the annual report before it was tabled? The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly Enfield Deputy Premier Attorney-General Minister for Justice Reform Minister for Planning Minister for Housing and Urban Development Minister for Industrial Relations Employee Ombudsman The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Industrial Relations) (14:56): I will do my best to answer that, and this is subject to my taking advice on it. My belief is the accurate answer to your question is as follows. First, he is not an employee of the office. He is the office. Mr Pisoni House of Assembly Mr Pisoni: He is in last year's annual report and the one before that. The Hon. J.R. RAU House of Assembly The Hon. J.R. RAU: In that case I will have to find out why there is a different treatment. I am happy to try to do that. But I make the point he is not an employee in the ordinary sense. That is not the case. The second point is, as I understand it, again, there has been an arrangement whereby an individual (I am not sure exactly who) has been functioning in an acting position since the determination was made that he would not be exercising his normal functions. Mr PISONI House of Assembly Mr PISONI: Supplementary, sir. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Final supplementary.
