BURNSIDE COUNCIL

The Hon. S.G. WADE (14:34): By way of supplementary question, has the minister fully approved all requests from the investigator for funds and resources to expedite the investigation process?

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 for the City of Adelaide) (14:34): I have. I believe I have done this on at least two occasions, namely, when the investigator requested of me an extension to the finalisation of the investigation. At each of those times I asked whether he required any additional resources to assist him in expediting the completion of his report or to assist him with that, and I asked him to let me know.

I think on both occasions he has requested additional assistance. I could not tell you about the timing of that, but I do know that he has requested some extra paralegal assistance and, I believe, some administrative assistance as well. I have authorised whatever resources the investigator has identified that he needs to expedite this investigation.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Darley has a supplementary question.
