TOURISM COMMISSION

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:44): I have a supplementary question arising out of the answer. When did the minister have the first discussion with the Chair of the South Australian Tourism Commission about the possibility of restructuring the chief executive's position into a part-time one? When was that first discussion?

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) (14:45): We have been having discussions about this for a number of weeks, as I said, exploring a range of different options. I cannot remember exactly which week that occurred in, but I can certainly put on the table that those discussions have been occurring for some time.
