The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): Supplementary: is the minister concerned that the toxic workplace experience in CBS could be widespread and being experienced right across the public sector?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:33): I am happy to answer the question. Certainly when there are experiences in particular areas, difficulties in workloads and other matters—I think it was only last year that the same person, Ms Rosslyn Cox, performed a review of the Director of Public Prosecutions office, given the workloads that they are under. So when there are concerns, I am very pleased that the government, in cooperation with the Office of the Commissioner for Public Sector Employment, is able to do these sorts of reviews to give staff the opportunity to provide feedback to produce reports that can address issues.
