Election Commitments

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (16:14): Supplementary question to the Premier: Premier, have you been personally monitoring the implementation of your own 100-day plan for your first 100 days in government?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (16:14): I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question. Not only have I been monitoring it but so has the cabinet, the cabinet secretary and the cabinet office. As I said in my previous answer, there are a huge number of commitments that we have made.

One of the things we will be doing quite differently from the previous government is operating a full cabinet orientation to the government that we put forward to the people of South Australia. Every member of the cabinet will be participating in the decision-making. We are going to try to minimise, as much as possible, the late papers that get rushed in that do not have the full scrutiny of the cabinet. We want to be a good government that, as I said, delivers on every single one of the commitments we made to the people of South Australia.

Of course, it takes a lot of time and effort to monitor a huge number of commitments, and that is exactly what we are doing. I am convinced that we are making progress on every single one of the commitments we made. It is a huge amount of work and I would like to commend all the members of the new cabinet for their efforts. Not one member in this house was a member of cabinet previously, so it has been a huge effort from every single person.

I would also like to commend the work of the cabinet office and the work they are doing to manage the transition to the new government. I thank them for the work they have done in managing this transition and I thank them for the work they will do in helping us to make sure we deliver on all our commitments made in the lead-up to the election.
