Has anyone in the Premier's office or department or any of his ministers met or spoken with Anacta Strategies since the election? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.</text>

          <by role="member" id="4837">The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS:</by>  On 26 April, the Queensland-based lobbying firm Anacta Strategies registered to operate in South Australia. Anacta's principal, Mr Evan Moorhead, is a former Labor member of the Queensland state parliament, former state secretary of the ALP and former adviser to Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk. This week, the Queensland Premier barred Mr Moorhead from approaching departments, ministers and staff for the rest of her government's current term.</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:21):</by>  I thank the Leader of the Opposition for his question and the additional context that he provided in the second question. I can confirm that I haven't met with Evan Moorhead and, to the best of my recollection, I don't know if I have met him ever, let alone during my tenure as Premier of South Australia. I am not aware of him meeting with anybody else, but I am more than happy to take it on notice and provide a definitive confirmation as soon as possible.</text>
