LEE, PROF. L.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:19): I ask the minister to clarify whether the position is a full-time position in Adelaide or a six months on/six months off type arrangement.

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (15:19): My understanding is that negotiations were continuing in relation to that arrangement with Professor Lee. I believe the position was to be taken up from 1 July. I am not sure whether those details have been finalised, but I shall check for the honourable member. The way they are going we will be lucky to have anybody. You can easily turn people off. You can easily say that this is a little backwater here, when you have the opposition in this state just proving what insular narrow-minded bigots they are.

Really, why would anybody bother to come here? You people are on a par with some of those little outback places in the southern part of the United States. You have about as much vision as a rhinoceros in a snow storm. It is just incredible that they can be so dismissive. Just for cheap, grubby politics, they will attack the reputation of international people who come to this state. Really, do we in this city need to make a joke of these people? But that is what they are like. It is sad that South Australia has an opposition of this low calibre.
