GFG Alliance

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (15:03): Supplementary: given the significance of GFG and the significant number of workers, what will the minister be doing to ensure that workers are secure and their benefits are being monitored?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:03): Again, I thank the honourable member for her question. The regulation of the industrial relations system for private sector workers for most of this century has been the sole providence of the commonwealth government. Superannuation, once again, is a creature of the commonwealth government and regulated by the commonwealth government. What I have said, and what I will say again, is this government will do what is in its power to look after the workers in Whyalla. We have in the past and will continue to do so.
