Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, First Session (52-1) 52 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Question Time Trade Union Officials TRADE UNION OFFICIALS The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition TRADE UNION OFFICIALS The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:25): My question is to the Minister for Industrial Relations. Does the minister believe in performance-based incentive payments for trade union officials? If so, does the minister believe that these inducements should be paid by the union as part of a salary package or by individual union members on a case-by-case basis direct to the union official or officials? The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY Legislative Council Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations TRADE UNION OFFICIALS The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:25): I don't know where the member is coming from but, no, I have no problem if the union executive wants to give union officials performance-based payments. It is their business; it is really no business of mine.
