H.M. GIROLAMO Legislative Council Public Sector Industrial Relations The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:02): My question is to the Attorney on South Australia's public sector industrial relations. Will the Attorney-General, in his capacity as Minister for Public Sector and Minister for Industrial Relations, rule out incorporating a bonus for public servants who simply turn up to work appropriately dressed? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Public Sector Industrial Relations The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:03): I thank the honourable member for her question. One thing that we have said is that we will enter all negotiations with the public sector unions in good faith and not rule out a whole lot of things like the former government did and say that back pay is completely off the table, as the former government did. We will absolutely enter into negotiations in good faith. There are certain allowances, in terms of education allowances, that will be negotiated and will be paid, but we will enter into each negotiation in good faith on their merits.
