Emergency Management Act

Mr PICTON (Kaurna) (14:57): My question is to the Premier. On what basis has the Premier received advice that extension of the emergency management powers of the State Coordinator is not necessary, and will the Premier release all the advice he has received in relation to that extension?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:57): We sought advice. Cabinet considered that advice. I think it would be very unorthodox for the cabinet to provide their deliberations to this house. However, as I said, we are satisfied with the way that we have been able to take elements of the original bill and put them into place—or elements of that bill and put them into place—more permanently with other mechanisms. There are many powers that we simply don't require anymore.
