          <by role="member" id="5412">The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (15:55):</by>  A supplementary relating to the original answer where the Treasurer said that all SafeWork can do is indicate to traders the legal advice the government has received. My question is: has the Treasurer enabled SafeWork to provide that legal advice to traders?</text>

          <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:55):</by>  I invite the Hon. Ms Scriven to check the <term>Hansard</term>. I never indicated that SafeWork SA was going to provide the legal advice to traders. What I did indicate—as the <term>Hansard</term> record will show—is that all we can do at the moment is, based upon the best legal advice the Crown has been able to provide to SafeWork SA, implement the law along those particular lines.</text>
        <text id="20190319d221e3b06e524116a0000294">We are not providing legal advice to traders in relation to the interpretation of this particular provision of the shop trading legislation. What we are doing is, based on the best advice we have, seeking to implement the silly, outdated, antiquated laws we have. Ultimately, if someone chooses to disagree with that it will be up to a court to determine whose lawyers were correct.</text>
