Public Sector Recruitment

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): I have a further question to the Attorney-General. Has the Chief Information Security Officer conducted an audit as to whether there was any breach of departmental security by Ms Veronica Theriault, which the Attorney-General undertook on 27 September to check with Dr Don Russell?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (14:12): I undertook then to check with Dr Russell. When I give an undertaking of that sort in the parliament, these things are referred to the relevant public servants to look at and to provide an answer. I don't presently have an answer to those things, but, as a result of these questions, I will again draw the attention—

Mr Gardner: When you take it on notice, you're supposed to bring an answer back.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I'm finding Morialta distracting, Mr Speaker. The point is that when I find the answers to those questions, obviously I will let those opposite know. As a result of today's questions, I will take a photocopy of today's questions and send them to Dr Russell and say, 'These further questions have been offered.'

Ms Chapman: That's what you said last time.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I do it every time. I don't ignore questions that are put to me, but I will pursue the answers, as I have indicated, with Dr Russell.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I warn the leader for his interjections. I also call to order, warn a first time and a second time the member for Morialta. I warn for the second and final time the deputy leader.
