Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Questions QUESTIONS The Hon. J.A. DARLEY Legislative Council QUESTIONS The Hon. J.A. DARLEY (16:11): My question is to the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, representing the Premier. Following the re-election of a Labor government in 2010, the premier gave an undertaking to reconnect with the electorate. On 6 May 2010, I asked former premier Rann if this included providing answers to questions in a timely manner. To date, no answer has been received. Can the Premier provide a response to my question of 6 May 2010, and will he give an assurance that questions will be answered in a timely manner in future? The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women QUESTIONS The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (16:12): This government seeks at all times to provide in a timely way not only answers to questions but other information requested from us. We have a good track record for that. In fact, on many occasions, honourable members have stood up in this chamber and congratulated our officers and our agencies for their helpfulness and cooperation in providing a whole range of information, briefings and access in terms of delegations. Time and time again, honourable members in this place and in the other place get to their feet and congratulate us for that good work. I can assure the honourable member that this government, and all members of the government, seek to provide in as timely a way as possible not only answers to questions but information requested.
