TAFE SA, Director Appointment

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:52): I have a further supplementary question. Is the minister saying that she supports no transparency in the appointment of people in government agencies and, especially in this case, she is unaware if the position was advertised or not?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:52): I have just answered the question. The employment practices for TAFE SA are a matter for TAFE SA: it is an independent statutory authority and it is responsible for its own staffing policies. If the honourable member wants answers and he wants to know the details of operational matters, I invite him to contact TAFE SA and ask those questions.
