Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Health Workforce Health Workforce The Hon. R.A. SIMMS Legislative Council Health Workforce The Hon. R.A. SIMMS (15:11): Supplementary: given the minister has ruled out matching the pay offer made in Victoria, is he concerned that South Australia is at risk of losing health workers to other states? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector Health Workforce The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:11): I will reiterate again what I think I answered—what the honourable member's question is: will I here and now agree to the highest settlement that occurs in every area in the health system in EBs right around the country? No, I won't do that, but it's not just pay that makes South Australia a particularly attractive place to live. I think the honourable member will agree that this city and this state have many natural benefits, over and above many other cities and states around Australia, that contribute to so many people wanting to call Adelaide home.
