          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (16:04):</by>  I have a supplementary question. How long has the Executive Director of SafeWork SA Ms Michele Patterson been on leave from her position as executive director, and when is it understood that she will return to her position? Why has the government agreed to such a lengthy absence from the leadership position of SafeWork SA?</text>
