He said, 'What more does the Liberal Party need in South Australia?' We repeatedly asked for this to be dealt with in a bipartisan way by the Industry Development Committee. Will the Premier commit to running any further package through the IDC so that we can deal with this in a bipartisan way? The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: We finally did get to a question there; congratulations, Leader of the Opposition. The Premier. The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:52): This is a new definition of bipartisanship: offering the hand of friendship and then snidely attacking the government at every opportunity to undermine the nature of this relationship. Members interjecting: The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Well, you raised bipartisanship. Mr PISONI House of Assembly Mr PISONI: Point of order: this is imputing improper motives on others in the parliament. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Well, actually, member for Unley, it isn't imputing improper motives; it may be something else that offends standing orders, but imputing improper motives is not it. The Premier is answering the question in the spirit that it was asked. Premier. The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Thank you, Mr Speaker. We did better than allowing a committee of the parliament to analyse this arrangement. We did better than a committee of the parliament— The Hon. I.F. Evans House of Assembly The Hon. I.F. Evans: No you didn't. The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: We let the whole parliament analyse the arrangement. We didn't— Members interjecting: The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: We didn't settle for a committee of the parliament: we actually committed the whole parliament to look at this matter, and— Members interjecting: The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: —that, of course— Members interjecting: The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: I am sure one thing we won't get before the end of question time is one single positive idea to advance the interest of those Holden's workers. Members interjecting: The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Supplementary question, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Since the last question was almost entirely a statement, I am really interested in what this supplementary will be.
