SA Water Reconciliation Action Plan

The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:08): Supplementary: given that SA Water has a goal to increase its Aboriginal employment to 2.5 per cent, if I heard correctly, how many employees are identified as Aboriginal now?

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) (15:08): I thank the honourable member for her question. I don't have an exact number of employees for SA Water. They are a significant employer and one of the biggest employers certainly that the state government has that does this sort of infrastructure work, so it will not be a small number. I will get an exact number and come back with an answer for the honourable member.
