Public Sector Recruitment

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:14): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier tell us when he was made aware of the problem of the employment of Ms Theriault?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Justice Reform, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Child Protection Reform, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for Consumer and Business Services, Minister for the City of Adelaide) (15:14): If it were possible for me to say the same thing in several different languages and still be within standing orders, I would attempt to do that. I will say it again: the circumstances of this particular matter are the subject of proceedings in the criminal courts. It is not appropriate or useful, indeed it might be very contrary to the interests of justice, for us to canvass particulars of this case in the public domain.
