JobKeeper Payment

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): My question is to the Premier. Is the Premier concerned that up to 1,000 South Australians have been stood down by government enterprises and cannot access the JobKeeper payment?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:23): I have, I thought, provided a pretty detailed explanation in my previous answer. There are a large number of people who are affected. Some will be eligible for the JobKeeper package; some will be eligible for the JobSeeker package.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms Cook interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hurtle Vale is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We are trying to preserve as many jobs as we possibly can, but let's be very clear.

An honourable member interjecting:

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I hear somebody saying, 'Well, stand them down.' I am not sure what the advantage of standing them down would actually be.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Ms Stinson: You're standing them down and they can't get any relief.

The SPEAKER: Member for Badcoe, I am not standing anyone down. Please do not interject. The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Sir, I think you would be more than aware, and those of us who have been reading the media would be more than aware, that we are doing everything we can to keep as many people engaged as possible. In fact—

Mr Brown interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —we were the first state in the country to actually push ahead with a job stimulus $350 million package not only to keep people employed but also, of course—

Mr Brown: What about your own employees?

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is warned.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: They are clearly not interested, sir.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: Your own employees in your own portfolios.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is also warned.

The Hon. S.S. Marshall interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Premier, please do not respond to interjections.

An honourable member interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Police is called to order. He has been doing it all day. The leader would like another question, and then one on my right.
