Employer Standards

Mr TEAGUE (Heysen—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:05): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier think—and, if so, why—it is appropriate that private employers are expected to adhere to one standard and his government to another? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TEAGUE: In the reasons for decision by Deputy President Eaton, and I quote from those reasons:

The employer here is the Crown. That it has failed over such an extended period to comply with its own legal obligations is disturbing.

The SPEAKER: There were a couple of questions there. There was a question and then if that was the answer—there was another question. I will leave it to the Premier to see if he can work out what the question was.

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (15:05): I thank the deputy leader for his question. I am more than happy to look into the matter that obviously the deputy leader has a degree of familiarity with, and I will seek some advice in regard to that quote that he selected from a particular matter that obviously the deputy leader is referring to.
