MAHER (Deputy Premier, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:36):</by>  By way of brief explanation, I am tabling more than 1,000 pages of documents requested by this council. The documents that I table today are the result of significant efforts within the Department for Environment and Water and the Department for Health and Wellbeing, supported by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. None of these agencies with whom these documents are held report to me. I have tabled the documents in the form that they were provided earlier today.</text>
        <text id="20251127bf97570aa9b44b59a0000451">I am advised that, since the passage of the resolution on 16 October, there have been significant efforts underway at relevant agencies to identify, collate and review documents within the scope of the resolution. I am advised that the documents have been reviewed and that many of them have been identified as containing information that would breach cabinet-in-confidence requirements, are subject to parliamentary privilege or contains matters which may breach commercial confidentiality, personal privacy or other requirements. Where documents in full contain information that falls within these categories they have not been provided. However, where possible, documents have been provided in part, with those relevant sections redacted.</text>
        <text id="20251127bf97570aa9b44b59a0000452">As I said in the debate on 16 October, the motion captures a significant range of documents. I am advised that searches and review remain underway. If further documents are identified that are capable of being tabled, I have requested that they be provided to the parliament's Joint Committee on Harmful Algal Blooms in South Australia, which I am advised intends to continue to meet following the conclusion of the sitting year. Lastly, I would like to thank the many public servants who have contributed to this body of work.</text>
