Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:46): Supplementary: how many state government employees or public sector employees are currently employed within this division?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:46): I will give you the entire breakdown: about 30 staff will be retained within government, about 70 staff are likely to be offered employment by the new provider and a further 60 staff will remain to transition those services. There will be no excess employees in the State Valuation Office; in fact, they will be under-resourced, so there should be some room for growth there. About nine FTE positions will be excess at the Lands Titles Office, which will, of course, be rerouted throughout government. We do not expect that there will be any forced redundancies at all out of this process.
