Replies to Questions

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:25): I seek leave to provide answers to two questions from question time.

Leave granted.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: In the interests of transparency and accountability, I undertook to the Hon. Ms Franks to seek urgent advice in relation to some aspects of her question. I advise that it is likely (and I will take further advice on this) that that would be construed as a worksite and therefore the No. 10 wouldn't apply to a worksite, which is where a place of work is being conducted, a press conference. The fact that the police commissioner and Professor Spurrier were part of that grouping probably gives some weight to the fact that it is unlikely to be ruled any differently, but nevertheless if it does then I will provide further information. That is the initial advice I have received in relation to that.

The Hon. Ms Scriven asked a question about government grants as well. I refer the honourable member to the RevenueSA website, where it makes it clear that if the business has received any South Australian government grants provided to address COVID-19 related business impacts, the value of these payments will be deducted from the $10,000 grant. I am not aware of any that have been, but I am prepared to seek some information to see whether or not that has occurred for any of the $35 million in grants that have been paid out.
