PUBLIC SECTOR EMPLOYEES

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:17): Given that the minister boasted he restricted his cuts to internal cuts, can he indicate what the alternative was?

The Hon. R.P. WORTLEY (Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for State/Local Government Relations) (15:17): That was an operational matter for the executive of SafeWork. We do not interfere. We allow them to get on with the job. They are very competent in the work they do and we have achieved such a massive reduction in workplace injuries because of the competent way they handle SafeWork SA.
