Public Service Employees

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (24 November 2020).

The Hon. S.J.R. PATTERSON (Morphett—Member of the Executive Council, Minister for Trade and Investment): I have been advised the following:

1. During the 2019-20 financial year, the Department for Trade and Investment had two employees in receipt of an attraction and retention allowance. The total cost of the allowances was $17 379. Both allowances were time limited and have since ceased.
