The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:34): Supplementary based on the minister's answer: is the minister saying that what the government, through the Premier, said just a few years ago was that they would not have bidding fights with other states to get jobs to South Australia? Is the minister saying that that policy has now been changed?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:34): I thank the honourable member for his question. The fact of the matter is that, today, other states attract businesses through incentives, and we would be doing the people of South Australia a disservice if we didn't.
