          <by role="member" id="3125">The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (14:45): </by> I will take that on notice and check up with SafeWork SA. I will make it quite clear right now that I have total confidence in SafeWork SA. They come under criticism quite often in this chamber by various people. The reality is that SafeWork SA has overseen one of the largest reductions in workplace injury throughout the country. They have had about a 38 per cent reduction since 2002 because this government is serious about making sure workplaces are safe, unlike the opposition here that has opposed every step of the way anything we could do to make workplaces safer.</text>
