AIDS COUNCIL OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

The Hon. R.D. LAWSON (14:58): Was any member of the minister's ministerial or departmental staff made aware of SHine's proposal to place these advertisements prior to today? The minister said that she learnt about this today. Were any members of her staff made aware of this matter, or were approval sought for the placement of these advertisements?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health) (14:58): To the best of my knowledge, no. I was only informed of this quite recently. To the best of my knowledge none of my staff were aware of it either, but if the answer is different from that I am happy to bring back that response to the chamber.
