State Budget

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): My question is to the Treasurer: does the Treasurer agree with the former treasurer, the member for Playford, when he said in June 2012 that it would not be 'wise or sustainable to go to the Motor Accident Commission and raid its reserves in order to prop up the budget'?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:40): I think what the Leader of the Opposition is attempting to do is to create some sort of risk or distance between myself and the health minister. Can I just say that since our days in Young Labor we have been inseparable on all matters. We are one, so I think our budget will speak for itself.
