Supporting Innovation in South Australia

The Hon. J.E. HANSON (14:44): Supplementary: to be clear in regard to my question, I did listen to the original answer and I get that there are multiple areas. What I am after is some concise answer as to who is actually responsible, because it seems like there is a wide array of people responsible.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:44): It has to be relatively wide ranging because, of course, immigration is handled by the federal government, in case the honourable member had not realised that. Of course, we have our own department, Immigration SA, and, as I said, we have the Office of the Chief Entrepreneur. There are a number of layers to make sure that the people who come are the 30 brightest and smartest people we can attract to the state. As I said in my closing statement, the honourable member could look at Immigration SA's website.
