Ministerial Staff

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (25 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I am advised of the following:

Ministerial staff employed as at 5 July 2019 were published in the Government Gazette on 18 July 2019.

The following table lists public sector staff employed in my office as at 30 June 2019

The member may note that this represents a dramatic reduction from the arrangements in place under the former government. Since 30 June 2019, no staff have been seconded from the department to my office.
