McGowan, Dr C.

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:34): My question is to the Premier. Should Dr McGowan stand down pending the outcome of the independent investigation into his conduct and, if not, why not?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:34): No, I think that Dr McGowan referred this matter himself to the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment. She has not provided me with any advice to suggest that he should stand down pending this investigation.
