South Australian Museum

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): Will the Premier give consideration to moving the South Australian Museum out of his department and into the environment or education departments, as has been requested by many advocates?

The Hon. A. MICHAELS (Enfield—Minister for Small and Family Business, Minister for Consumer and Business Affairs, Minister for Arts) (15:08): The Museum has been with the arts minister for as long as I can remember. It is a cultural institution.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. MICHAELS: Arts SA is within DPC, as the member is aware, and Arts SA is responsible for the Museum. It sits with the Minister for Arts and it has for as long as I can remember. Unless we get advice otherwise, it will remain in that position.
