Legislative Council Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Sundrop Farms Sundrop Farms The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN Legislative Council Sundrop Farms The Hon. A.L. McLACHLAN (15:02): I have a supplementary question. Can the minister advise the chamber how many employees Sundrop Farms has and what is the anticipated increase in employees from the development? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy Sundrop Farms The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:02): I thank the honourable member for his question. It is a very, very good question and he is a very, very good member. I have been disappointed in not feeling the love from him lately. Before we had a new minister, I used to feel the love from him quite frequently; it seems to have transferred to the new minister, but I am very pleased to know that I am still in his thoughts. In relation to the question, I do not have the figures of the exact number at Sundrop Farms who are employed at the moment, but I will get the exact numbers as far as I can and bring back that answer, and also of projected employment increases. It is, as I understand it, some hundreds. I can't guarantee that I will be able to account for any sick leave or maternity leave that is happening at the time because I would not want to lead to your confusion. I will seek an approximate number.
