          <by role="member" id="4837">The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:21):</by>  My question is again to the Premier. Did the new Chief Executive Officer of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Mr Damien Walker, have any contact with Anacta Strategies while he held various departmental director-general roles in the Queensland government?</text>

          <by role="member" id="5084">The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:22):</by>  The new Chief Executive Officer of the Department of the Premier and Cabinet, Mr Damien Walker—who, of course, is South Australian—has been working exceptionally hard and diligently during the course of his tenure in this very important office. Mr Walker brings to this role a great degree of experience when it comes to public service delivery in senior levels of the Public Service, particularly in the state of Queensland. Prior to joining the South Australian government in his current capacity, he was the director-general of the main economic department within the Queensland government, and I am very grateful for his service.</text>
        <text id="2022070692f53797522d450780000410">My focus as Premier of the state is to make sure that we utilise Mr Walker and all his skills and capability in a way that best serves the interests of the people of South Australia, and I suspect his firm focus is on doing exactly the same thing.</text>
