MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:50):</by>  I engage with my agencies, as all ministers do with their agencies, on a whole range of different issues on a regular basis. We receive feedback from them and we provide feedback to them, on a whole range of different issues. This government remains committed to ensuring that South Australians generally, whether they be taxpayers, whether they be injured workers within the government's employ, get the best possible outcome when it comes to the handling of workers compensation claims. That is what this government is committed to.</text>
