Assistant Minister to the Premier

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (15:02): My question is to the Assistant Minister to the Premier. Does the assistant minister still enjoy the confidence of the Premier, and has there been any discussion in relation to you stepping down from duties in the area of multicultural and ethnic affairs?

The Hon. J.S. LEE (15:02): I am really touched by the members opposite having such a keen interest in my welfare and in the job that I do. I have the full confidence, complete confidence, of the Premier—absolute confidence.

The Hon. J.E. Hanson: That's always the end.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Mr Hanson will allow the member to answer the question.

The Hon. J.S. LEE: I enjoy the role of being an assistant minister to the Premier because I enjoy the role of serving the multicultural communities of South Australia. If the opposite side is trying to divide us, trying to divide communities rather than uniting communities, they have something coming.
