Has the minister received any feedback from current and former staff, donors, volunteers, scientists or members of the public in relation to the announced restructure of the South Australia Museum and, if so, how does she respond to that feedback?</text>

MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:36):</by>  I thank the member for the question. There has been some correspondence coming through from various members of the public on the proposed restructure. It is currently an industrial process that is being undertaken at the moment between the Museum and its employees, so I won't comment on that process.</text>
        <text id="202403216be93c24c3cc44ea80000479">What we have seen, as I have mentioned previously, is an improved vision for the Museum here in South Australia, an improved vision for educating our youth, getting more engagement from the community, getting more visitors coming from interstate and overseas going into our Museum through a renewed focus on curatorial research. So that is happening as part of the strategic vision.</text>
        <text id="202403216be93c24c3cc44ea80000480">Yes, we have had feedback from a range of stakeholders. That has all been taken into account. There will be a public process starting in the next few weeks but, at the moment, there is an industrial process being undertaken and I won't comment further on that process.</text>
