Renewal SA Governance
Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (13:50): Supplementary: is the minister aware that, in the establishment of Renewal SA and its subsequent statutory provision, the chief executive officer was made directly responsible to the minister, unlike in most other bodies, where they are responsible to the board? My question to the minister is: is that still the case? Is he still directly responsible to you as minister, or has that now been changed in the board of governance arrangements, to be accountable to the board?

Members interjecting:
The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Keep screaming, keep screaming. It's not working over there. Last legs.
Members interjecting:
The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Last legs.
Members interjecting:
The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Yes, that's right. Keep laughing. That's the Christopher Pyne model of what we do when we're uncomfortable. I understand the schooling that's occurred.
Members interjecting:
The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Keep laughing, keep laughing.
Members interjecting:
The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It's not working. Has the legislation changed, which requires that the chief executive is appointed by the minister? No, that hasn't changed. Has the governance relationship between the government and Renewal SA been reviewed as a result of the inquiries that have been undertaken since 2014? Yes, it has. If there are further changes to be made in that respect, I will advise the house accordingly.
