BURNSIDE CITY COUNCIL

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:48): I have a supplementary question. I refer to the minister's comments in which I understand she expressed an assurance to South Australians that any investigation would include consideration of any undue influence on an unelected person. Considering the minister's obligations under the Local Government Act to give council an opportunity to make submissions on any proposed investigation before it is instituted, how could any inquiry include consideration of an unelected person, since the minister's letter of 2 July did not reference such an issue?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy) (14:49): The matter was referenced in my letter to the Burnside council. There was a reference to the way in which council conducts itself, and that would include undue influence.
