Ministerial Staff Salaries

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:57): Supplementary: is the Premier aware of any proposal before Christmas to increase the salaries of all ministerial staff and, if yes, what will the increase be and will it be backdated to 1 July 2017?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:57): I know that whenever a worker gets a pay increase, a little part of the Liberal Party dies, but I will go back and check and come back and report to the house as soon as I possibly can.
