Review of Harassment in the South Australian Parliament Workplace

The House of Assembly informed the Legislative Council that it had appointed the Speaker (the Hon. J.B. Teague), Mr Bell, Dr Close and Ms Luethen as its representatives on the joint committee on the recommendations arising from the equal opportunity commissioner's report into harassment in the parliament workplace.

The House of Assembly informed the Legislative Council that it had passed the following resolution:

That the House of Assembly concurs with the resolution of the Legislative Council contained in message No. 92 that it be an instruction to the joint committee on the recommendations arising from the equal opportunity commissioner's report into harassment in the parliament workplace, that the joint committee be authorised to disclose or publish, as it thinks fit, any evidence or documents presented to the joint committee prior to such evidence and documents being reported to the parliament.

Further, the House of Assembly agreed with the proposal to enable strangers to be admitted when the joint committee is examining witnesses unless the joint committee otherwise resolves, but they shall be excluded when the joint committee is deliberating.


At 17:59 the council adjourned until Tuesday 30 March 2021 at 14:15.
