CARBON EMISSIONS

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): I have a supplementary question, sir. In light of that response—and my question is again to the Premier—would not a more environmentally friendly strategy to reduce carbon dioxide output be to cut the number of government cars and staffers by reducing his cabinet from 15 to 12?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:49): You would be well aware of what we have done with the government car fleet.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: You would very well aware of the 50 per cent target for the government car fleet and, again, rather than talk about things, or bark like a chihuahua, or pretend that you have not been assassinated, or doctor the Hansard, we are getting on with the job.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
