Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:53): My question is to the Premier. Who will be undertaking the investigation into the granting of border exemptions to AFL player families? Will it be a public servant or will it be an external person to government?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:53): I thank the member for his question. I don't have that detail. That's something that the Chief Executive of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet will make a decision on. My understanding, though, is that it's very likely to be somebody from within the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. We think it's important to have somebody who is not in the health department reviewing the processes.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: There has pretty obviously been an error of judgement with regard to the granting of the approval for the parents of the Port Adelaide footballers to come into South Australia. This is not a hanging offence. It is certainly something that is unfortunate and shouldn't happen again. We expect there to be consistency with the application of the process. In this instance it wasn't, but we will conduct that review into the process and look for ways to continuously improve the way that we grant those exemptions.
