The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Supplementary to clarify: these two business manager positions have none of the responsibilities or obligations of public servants, including Treasurer's Instructions, minister's instructions or Public Service commissioner policies and procedures; is that what the minister is advising the house?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (14:27): That is a consequential issue in terms of the issue I have taken on notice. I will clarify their status under the public sector. As I said, my understanding is that they are regarded as contractors.
