In reply to Mr GARDNER (Morialta) (29 July 2016). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Minister for Education and Child Development, Minister for Higher Education and Skills): I have been advised of the following:

The expense was for the provision of onsite security services by SAPOL. In addition to security in the guard house at Government House, SACE is required to hire additional security guards to roam the grounds and monitor the Kintore entrance. This is based on advice from Government House. SAPOL is used as they are the official providers of onsite security at Government House.
