SA election: Public sector changes flagged by Liberals
Liberal leader Steven Marshall has flagged a shake-up of the South Australian public service.
He says some departmental chief executives report to too many ministers and departments could be more efficient.
Mr Marshall will not reveal which departments are earmarked for change.
"We're doing some final portfolio movements at the moment with some agencies which I think are in illogical groupings under the current Government and we'll finalise that," he said.
Mr Marshall says, if the Liberals form government, he will continue with his current frontbench team, but will not confirm which ministerial roles might change until after the election.
The Liberals are promising to change South Australia's fines system if they win power.
Part of the changes would flow from an audit of fixed speed and red light cameras to ensure they operate in high-risk zones rather than with an eye to revenue-raising.
The Liberals say they would spend $1 million annually for an independent authority, separate from police and the courts, which would give people a review mechanism for expiation notices without having to go to court.
"Our policy will underpin a renewal of public confidence in the system and restore the use of fines as an effective law enforcement tool," shadow attorney-general Stephen Wade said.
But Attorney-General John Rau says an independent organisation outside of the court system already has been set up.
