SAFEWORK SA

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:02): As a supplementary question arising from the answer, is the minister indicating to this house that having attended that lunch and heard that evidence from the head of the AHA he has not requested from SafeWork SA any information as to whether or not the claim by Mr Hurley was accurate, that is, that SafeWork SA staff had advised him that driveway staff had to wear high-vis safety vests?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:03): Many members here were at that luncheon. Mind you, if there was a concern, I don't take seriously comments made out of good fun and jest at a Christmas function. If Mr Hurley had a legitimate problem he should write to me and I would make sure the appropriate response was given.

The PRESIDENT: The honourable minister should name the members of parliament who were there.
