Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): Yes. The Treasurer just outlined to the house that all will be revealed in the Mid-Year Budget Review, but can he confirm today that, after the Mid-Year Budget Review adjustments, the expected year-end deterioration of the state budget will be approximately $21 million?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:31): Mr Speaker, you will be able to reflect on the truth or otherwise of that by reading the Mid-Year Budget Review.
