STATE ECONOMY
The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15:05): My question is to the Minister for Finance. Does the minister agree with the Treasurer, who said on 28 August in regard to state budget revenues, that 'Our revenues aren't driven by economic activity'?
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: Order!
The Hon. M.F. O'BRIEN (Napier—Minister for Finance, Minister for the Public Sector) (15:05): Ah, for the wisdom of Solomon. I have no knowledge of the source of that particular comment, nor the surrounding dialogue. I think it has been taken out of context.
Members interjecting:
The SPEAKER: Order!
The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Supplementary, Madam Speaker.
The SPEAKER: If it is a supplementary.
