PUBLIC SERVICE EMPLOYEE NUMBERS

In reply to Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (27 June 2007) (Estimates Committee A).

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change): I have been advised of the following:

The government was elected in 2002 with a policy mandate for no more privatisations. This position was again endorsed by South Australians at the 2006 election. Since coming to office, my government has not only delivered on this promise by not privatising any further government organisations, but reversed a significant privatisation of the former Liberal government, the Modbury Hospital.
