Legislative Council Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time State Productivity Commission State Productivity Commission The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council State Productivity Commission The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (16:55): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Treasurer. Leave granted. The Hon. I.K. HUNTER Legislative Council The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: The Hon. Michelle Lensink, in her answer to a question from the Hon. John Dawkins, talked about the now government having made a number of 30-day commitments in the lead-up to the election and during the election campaign, and how she and others needed to get their skates on to deliver on that election commitment for a 30-day response. My question to the Treasurer is: will the Treasurer explain why he has failed to determine the membership of the South Australian productivity commission in the first 30 days of government, as previously promised, and when can we expect the membership to be announced? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council Treasurer The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (16:55): The Premier and I have commenced the implementation of the commitment for a productivity commission in South Australia. It is correct to indicate that we have not announced the membership of the productivity commission; that is still a work in progress. It is a discussion between the Premier and myself in relation to the establishment. The Premier has actually taken responsibility for the establishment of the productivity commission under the government. I will liaise with the Premier and bring back a reply in relation to when the Premier and the government believe we will be in a position to announce the membership of the productivity commission.
