TAXES AND CHARGES

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): Will the Premier rule out any new infrastructure levies to pay for his $36 billion dream?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:26): The first thing: it is not my dream, it is the work associated with going out to the community. It is the product of their aspirations, their hopes, their desires for the future of this state. It is more than a dream, it is a coherent vision for the future of our state. I know the Leader of the Opposition always engages in this faux laughter whenever he feels under pressure, but I think most people can see through that now and realise that this is a coherent vision for the future of our state, one which is gathering momentum as people actually like the vision that they are seeing laid out for them.

Mr Marshall: Will you rule out a levy?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: I am more than happy to rule out an infrastructure levy to pay for this, because it would be unnecessary to do so.

Mrs Redmond interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Before the leader asks a supplementary, regrettably, I have to warn the member for Heysen for the second time. She took absolutely no notice of her previous warning. There will be no further warnings to the member for Heysen. Is this a supplementary, leader?
