J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council POPULATION GROWTH The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:31): I have a supplementary question arising from the answer in which the minister stated that the 'population had turned around'. Can the minister identify what year precisely did population reach its lowest levels in South Australia and at what point was the net interstate migration from South Australia highest? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling POPULATION GROWTH The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Public Sector Management, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister for Gambling) (14:31): I do not have those details with me; I do not carry that level of detail around in my head. It is not an area I am responsible for, but I do know that in the recent past we have certainly turned those trends around. We certainly have in recent years been able to achieve unprecedented levels of employment. These are things this government is very proud to have contributed towards and now builds on and continues to grow.
