Legislative Council Fifty-Second Parliament, Second Session (52-2) 52 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Tourism Commission TOURISM COMMISSION The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council TOURISM COMMISSION The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:34): I have a further supplementary question arising out of the minister's attempted answer. Given that the acting chief executive, Jane Jeffreys, has stated that her current review is not considering the option of having a part-time chief executive officer permanently, how will replacing a full-time chief executive officer in Mr Darbyshire with another full-time chief executive officer after this review help meet $1.2 million in savings which the minister claims was the reason for getting rid of Mr Darbyshire? 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 TOURISM COMMISSION 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) (14:35): I thank the honourable member for his question. It is not just the $1.2 million; as I have said in this place several times before, that is $1.2 million in addition to other savings that are required. The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting: The President Legislative Council The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council The Hon. G.E. GAGO: The role of the chief executive/CEO is to conduct a review to look at the restructuring of the organisation and other strategies to deliver those savings. What that new structure will look like is a matter that is under review, and I am not going to pre-empt that. I will wait to see the recommendations that are handed down by the South Australian Tourism Commission, and then I will consider them and make my decisions accordingly.
