Parliament House Staffers

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:04): My question is to the Premier. Has any Liberal staff member been dismissed following the allegations that, during Liberal Party drinks in 2019, a Liberal staff member urinated in the corner of an MP's office and exposed himself?

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning and Local Government) (15:05): I just repeat and refer to my previous answer. The matter has its origin in a report of the acting equal opportunity commissioner, who provided a report to the parliament, including ensuring that the government had a list of things do.

We have listened to that. We have respected her envelope of confidentiality and we will not breach that, obviously, or ask her to be able to disclose that. I just reassure anyone in the parliament—staff or members of parliament—that if they have a concern they wish to have advice on, that they need further assistance on, my door is always open.
