SA officials to be quizzed on energy plan

Senior government officials will be quizzed about spending on advertising for the South Australian government's energy plan at a parliamentary committee hearing.

Senior officials from the Department of Premier and Cabinet will appear before the budget and finance committee on Monday.

Opposition Treasury spokesman Rob Lucas says department chief executive Don Russell and others will also be questioned about the government's plan to install temporary diesel generators to help SA cope with any electricity shortages or blackouts this summer.
