          <by role="member" id="4841">Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:25):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Did Dr McGowan, when signing his employment contract, have to sign any declarations of interest and did any such declaration include Silver Chain Corporate Services Pty Ltd?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:25):</by>  Of course, we were more than aware that Dr McGowan had previously worked for Silver Chain. As to the specifics of that declaration, I am happy to make inquiries with the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment, who conducted all the recruitment aspects of the employment of Dr McGowan into this key role for us here in South Australia. I know that we established an independent panel to advise us on the appointment of this key role for South Australia, and it was a unanimous recommendation that Dr McGowan be appointed. I am happy to make that inquiry to the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment.</text>
