House of Assembly Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Super SA Super SA Mr COWDREY House of Assembly Colton Super SA Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:18): My question is to the Treasurer again. Did the Treasurer meet with Ms Dascia Bennett, former Chief Executive of Super SA, to discuss Mr Foley's departure? The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Treasurer Minister for Defence and Space Industries Super SA The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:18): I met with Kevin Foley, as my previous answer alluded to, and also I met on a regular basis with Das Bennett, the former Chief Executive of Super SA, on regular occasions to talk about Super SA, as I have just made clear, as I do with all of the people who are in charge of the organisations. They report to me, and my recollection is that when the decision was made that Das Bennett was no longer continuing in the role of chief executive of the organisation and that a process would be entered into to replace her as chief executive after the end of her contract, that is the point in time that Mr Foley said to me that he didn't want to continue on as chair. I can't stand here and say that I had a specific meeting with Das Bennett about the performance of the chair of the board, because I don't believe that that's what's happened. What's happened is we made it— An honourable member House of Assembly An honourable member: It's a coincidence. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Treasurer Minister for Defence and Space Industries The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It is no coincidence that as Treasurer I meet regularly with the chief executive and the chair of the organisations that report to me. It is a specific undertaking that I make a point of on a regular basis. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Treasurer Minister for Defence and Space Industries The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It's the same with the Essential Services Commission. It's the same with the department itself. I am very clearly and particularly articulating why I have had these meetings. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order!
