GAGO (Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Tourism, Minister for the Status of Women) (14:35):</by>  The appointment of staff within the South Australian Tourism Commission is a matter for the Tourism Commission and the board. They are completely responsible for the hiring and firing of all of their staff, and the way they structure their operations and the day-to-day way that they manage that. The whole of the organisation will be looked at and reviewed by the board. That work has just commenced. As I said, we look forward to seeing what proposals the board put forward in terms of recommendations for the restructure.</text>
