Wage Theft

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:49): Supplementary: will SafeWork SA wait until another young worker is assaulted before they take any action for the systemic unsafe environment that is being provided in this workplace?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:49): Obviously, the honourable member has made her own judgement in relation to the circumstances in the workplace. I am not directly aware of that.

The Hon. T.A. Franks: I watch the news, so I heard all the other workers who are also being exploited.

The PRESIDENT: Order!

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: I am prepared to allow an independent regulatory authority to investigate and to decide what action, if any, they should take as an independent regulator.
