McGowan, Dr C.

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:33): My question is to Premier.

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is warned for a second time.

Mr PICTON: If, as the Premier said, this matter has reached no threshold whatsoever, why is it being investigated by the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:34): It's embarrassing for the opposition that they don't even listen to the answers that are provided in this house. We are not even halfway through, I don't think, and they have already run out of questions. They are just asking the same question over and over again. But, as I pointed out, this was a matter which the government didn't refer to the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment. It was something that Dr McGowan himself referred to the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment out of an abundance of caution.
