Public Sector Enterprise Agreements

The Hon. B.R. HOOD (14:37): Supplementary: in the discussions with the Premier and the health minister, has the minister discussed contingency plans, should negotiations be prolonged and industrial action taken?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:37): In relation to industrial action that any union seeks to take, I don't think anybody, including unions, wishes to put any possibility of the safety of South Australians at risk. If there is industrial action taken or foreshadowed, that will be looked at on a case-by-case basis.
