FRINGE BENEFITS TAX

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): A supplementary to that one, sir. Why is it that it has taken the Premier a full 10 days to get a chance to actually speak to our Prime Minister on this issue, which is going to have such an adverse effect on the auto sector?

The SPEAKER: Yes, I think we have got the idea. The Premier.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:03): You might direct that question to the Prime Minister.

Mr MARSHALL: Supplementary.

The SPEAKER: No, alas, the member for Ashford.

Mr Marshall: It's a very important supplementary.

The SPEAKER: I am sure it is. The member for Ashford.
