Minister's Remarks

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): My question is to the Minister for the Public Sector in South Australia. Can the minister explain whether she finds the language used by the Treasurer to be acceptable?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for the Public Sector) (14:33): I do not think I have anything more to add than both the Premier and the Treasurer have already articulated very clearly—the language is regarded as unacceptable by both. An apology has been made and a commitment to not using that again in that kind of environment.
