Termination Payouts

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (30 July 2019). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water): I have been advised of the following:

Two executive level employees have been terminated from the Department for Environment and Water since 1 July 2018.

The total value of termination payments including leave entitlements made for these positions was $636,589 (excluding on-costs).

Details of the separation payments of these former executive employees will not be released as it is considered an unreasonable disclosure of personal affairs.'
