Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (14:46): Could the minister explain why it costs about $30,000 for an employer to employ a visa holder here in South Australia?

The Hon. M.L.J. HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Minister for Investment and Trade, Minister for Defence Industries, Minister for Veterans' Affairs) (14:46): I'm not sure if that information put forward in that question is accurate. I will check to see if it is, and if it is I will come back to the house with a reply.
