Private Email Accounts

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:38): Supplementary arising from the original answer: does the minister consider work emails relating to his portfolio of responsibilities are appropriate to be sent to an @parliament.sa.gov.au email address, rather than to his email address as a minister?

The Hon. S.G. WADE (Minister for Health and Wellbeing) (15:38): Let me assure you that the majority of the emails I get, in terms of the ones that come to me direct, don't go to my ministerial specific account; they go to my parliamentary one. I don't know what proportion of emails go to the generic email address that has been used by previous health ministers, but certainly I continue to get emails on my parliamentary account, related to ministerial business, and I often would be forwarding them on to the generic health minister's address.
