Question Time

South Australian Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the minister assisting the Premier regarding the South Australian Multicultural and Ethnic Affairs Commission board.

Leave granted.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER: In question time yesterday, when the assistant minister was asked whether she or the government had conducted due diligence into the appointments to the board of SAMEAC, the assistant minister replied, 'The government of the day certainly has done its due diligence'. Further, when the assistant minister was asked whether she stood by her previous comments that the appointments were of the highest quality and calibre, the assistant minister said, 'Yes'. My questions of the assistant minister are:

1. Does the assistant minister stand by her comments that appropriate due diligence had been undertaken before appointments to this board?

2. Does the assistant minister stand by her comments that all appointments were of the highest quality and calibre, including the appointment of Mr Mario Romaldi?

3. What consultation, briefings or discussions has the assistant minister had with the Premier, or anyone from his office, in relation to this matter this week?

The Hon. J.S. LEE (14:22): I believe I have provided adequate answers to all the questions previously. The same set of questions has been asked in the other place. Please refer to the Premier's comments.
