One Community

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): Supplementary, sir, to the Premier. Why did the Premier personally employ Mr Brad Chilcott after he was dismissed by One Community for engaging in party-political activities while employed by them?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for the Arts) (14:52): Brad Chilcott is a fine and talented young man. I would be more than happy to employ him every day of the week. He is a very talented young man. I don't know the circumstances in which he left One Community. I suspect it had a bit to do with the federal government putting pressure on some of those constituent organisations that comprise One Community and putting the heat on them. I suspect that's actually what happened. What is at stake here is $210 million for the students of South Australia, and today we have the revelation that an incoming federal Labor government will restore that $210 million. That is the simple solution here. That is the simple solution: vote Labor.
