SA Housing Authority Property Maintenance

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:34): My question is to the Minister for Small and Family Business. Can the minister advise whether South Australian Housing Trust contractors have contacted the Small Business Commissioner about non-payment of invoices and, if so, when did the minister become aware?

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (14:34): I can't answer if the Small Business Commissioner has been contacted directly by those businesses. I know there was a media report, I think, on Monday which had some comments provided by the Small Business Commissioner that invited people to contact her if there were concerns in terms of payment issues with the head contractor. If there are any more details I am able to provide, I will happily do that.
