Chief Secretary of South Australia
The Chief Secretary of South Australia (since 1856) or Colonial Secretary of South Australia (1836–1856) was a key role in the governance of the Colony of South Australia (1836–1900) and State of South Australia (from 1901) until it was abolished in 1982. It was the main executive and coordinating authority of government administration. It was the official channel of communication to the Governor of South Australia from government departments and the general public.[1]
The Premier's Department was created in 1965, and over time assumed the functions of the Chief Secretary's Office.

gollark: Not significantly. It's just slightly less efficient than letting it autoassign rowids.
gollark: As Macron is purely functional and deterministic, when an error occurs it simply rewrites the code and time-travel-debuggings it back to the same state, until it stops erroring.
gollark: I think they can be basically equal in convenience if you can do anyhow-style error casting stuff and have try.
gollark: And bad workarounds like the errWriter thing from that blog post.
gollark: I love how they keep trying to come up with ridiculous justifications for the awful error handling.
