Kerin, Dr Paul

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:42): Supplementary, sir, and I would like my supplementary taken by the Premier, if possible. Has the Premier investigated the claims made by Dr Kerin that Dr Kerin is 'appalled by the behaviours that both ministers and senior bureaucrats have engaged in to stymie those efforts of reform'?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:43): I look forward to Mr Kerin providing evidence of any interference from the government. I look forward to Mr Kerin providing evidence of bureaucrats acting inappropriately. I will also remind you, Mr Speaker, that the CEO of ESCOSA has responsibilities under reporting if there has been any inappropriate behaviour at all. It is unfair to bring bureaucrats into question without evidence. If you have an accusation, make it.
