Public Sector Employment

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:41): I have a supplementary question. Given that the minister refused to answer that question, is she prepared to consider a change of policy to prevent the circumstances that I have outlined from continuing to occur?

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) (14:41): I have given my answer and, as I have indicated, we do everything that we can to ensure the proper use of public funds, the best outcomes from government and to ensure that we do that in an open and transparent way.
