Ambulance Employees

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:26): My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer agree with the Ambulance Employees Association in their claim that they should at least be getting the same 3 per cent wage rise as has been granted to nurses and MFS firefighters?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:26): It is not for me to debate within this place the wages and conditions of the enterprise agreement on the floor of the chamber. The government has a policy of 2.5 per cent and I expect all agencies to deliver that.
