Public Sector Executive Salaries

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:34): My question is to the minister representing the Premier on the health CEO's salary package increase, and it is: how can this government endorse a $67,269 pay increase to a salary package of half a million dollars for the SA Health chief exec, when the expert panel on PTSD, charged with considering the fate of the Repatriation Hospital, wasn't even afforded a minute-taker to facilitate their important work? Is this an indictment on the government's consultation priorities? Is it a matter of declare, defend and don't leave any minutes?

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) (14:37): I thank the member for her questions and will refer them to the Premier in another place and bring back a response.
