Adelaide Gig City Program

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): Supplementary: can the minister advise whether a Mr Tom Hajdu, who is the chief executive of a company called Disrupter, has any involvement in the gigabit city project, whether he is being employed directly by the government or whether his company is a consultant to the state government?

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) (14:47): In the development of the gig city project, there have been dozens and dozens of people who have contributed ideas and involvement, and certainly I have met Mr Hajdu a number of times. He is in Australia on a distinguished talent visa and has been providing his ideas as dozens and dozens of others have been. I will check. I am not aware, in the development of the gig city project, that he has been employed as a consultant, but I will double-check that for the honourable member.
