Premier and Cabinet Department

Mr KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (15:01): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier stand by his answer to the parliament that he did not advise DPC executives that any public sector employees were no longer supported or had the trust or confidence of the government, the Premier or the ministers?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:01): Sorry. I just didn't hear it. Could you—

Mr KOUTSANTONIS: Sure. Does the Premier stand by his answer to the parliament that he did not advise DPC executives that any public sector employees were no longer supported or had the trust or confidence of the government, the Premier or ministers?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I can't recall my exact previous answer, but the only people I have made any comment on whatsoever are the public servants who directly report to me as the Premier because, under the Public Sector Act, they are the ones I can determine whether or not they remain in the Public Service. Beyond that, they are decisions for chief executives.
