          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:11):</by>  My question is to the Premier. Who made the decision in the Department of the Premier and Cabinet to stop using government-owned or licensed software platforms to draft and distribute media releases and instead use the Liberal Party-licensed NationBuilder platform?</text>

          <by role="member" id="4338">The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:11):</by>  I don't have that information to hand, but what I can say is that it wasn't so much stopping what was being used. These press releases went out from the Premier's office. Of course, the staff in the Premier's office changed at the time of the election because there was a change in government. In fact, the platform that had been used by the staff who transferred into my office had been used successfully for an extended period of time. We have not been using that, as I have canvassed today, to harvest, redirect, collect or retain data. I think this issue is very, very clear to anybody who has been following the developments this morning and later on this afternoon.</text>
