Freedom of Information

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): My question is again to the Deputy Premier. Is the Deputy Premier aware of any comments by the Ombudsman regarding the number of freedom of information requests received by her office? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS: The Ombudsman stated that the Deputy Premier receives, and I quote, 'a very low number' of freedom of information applications and:

…many agencies will receive that number [of freedom of information applications] in only one month.

Members interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order, please! The minister has the call.

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:21): As I say, I will confirm the documentation that the opposition leader is speaking about but I will note that we received 12 freedom of information applications last week.

Members interjecting:

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: Order! Members on my left, the leader has the call. Can I suggest that you perhaps might want to listen to what the leader has to say? Leader.
