House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Renewal SA Renewal SA The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Renewal SA The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:37): My question is to the Acting Premier. Is Mr Mark Devine, while acting as chief executive of Renewal SA, receiving an increased salary equal to the amount Mr John Hanlon was receiving as chief executive while he is acting in the position of Chief Executive of Renewal SA? The Hon. S.K. KNOLL House of Assembly Schubert Minister for Transport Minister for Planning Renewal SA The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning) (14:37): In the usual way when acting executives are put into those positions, there is an allowance arrangement that goes along with that. That's something that is standard and, as I understand it, has existed wherever we have had acting CEO positions. Certainly I understand from my own departments in DPTI and Renewal SA that in those instances where you have an acting CE in place there is an allowance that is paid that sort of tops up what would be the fallback position that that executive holds normally. That is the case in this instance. I don't know off the top of my head what the amount is, but certainly that's the normal and usual course of things.
