Royal Adelaide Hospital Construction Site Incident

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Can the Attorney-General inform the house whether or not it is routine for these reports not to be provided, whether there were recommendations covered in that SafeWork SA report, and whether all of the recommendations have been fully implemented?

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) (14:26): My understanding is that in respect of that first incident, my advice is that charges were laid on 27 October last year, and a directions hearing was apparently held on 28 January this year, and the matter is next listed for court on the 21st

Mr Marshall: The recommendations based on the report—the SafeWork SA report—not the criminal proceedings.

The Hon. J.R. RAU: I will have to take that on notice for you.

Mr Marshall: I would have thought with the focus on this, the deputy might have taken a look at the SafeWork report.

The SPEAKER: Would the leader like to ask a question?
