Regional Employment

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (15:17): I have a supplementary question. The minister might want to take this on notice: will she cite the resources that she uses to claim that there are 21,000 more jobs in regional South Australia since the government came to office?

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) (15:18): I am advised that there are more than 21,000 additional people in jobs in regional South Australia than when this government came to power, and that is from March 2002 to May 2015, and that would be ABS data.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Ridgway has a supplementary.
