BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:51):</by>  I think the clue is in the answer: it's a tender process. This is a process that is followed. It's not something that politicians are stepping into. It is a process that is followed and, as I have just said, this is really about 300 South Australians being employed. They are South Australians who live and work here. This is an organisation that is already investing in and backing South Australians and having them based here locally.</text>
