Ministerial Staff

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:17): A supplementary question arising out of the minister's non-answer: is the minister claiming in his response that the 10 full-time equivalent staff are all ministerial contract staff and are not public servants?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change) (15:17): I didn't claim any such thing.
