House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time State Budget State Budget Mr MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Leader of the Opposition State Budget Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): A supplementary question to the Treasurer: will he guarantee that the government will not raid the cash reserves of the Motor Accident Commission in the upcoming budget? The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Finance Minister for State Development Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy Minister for Small Business State 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) (14:41): We don't raid anything. We act appropriately and prudently. We act in the best interests of the people and I am not going to get into this position of the 'rule out/rule in' scenario—the budget will speak for itself. We never act improperly; we always act in the best financial interests of the state and its people, and we will make sure we deliver a prudent budget. I look at the member for Schubert and I feel disappointed for him, because he should be on the front bench and he's not. Perhaps if he changed factions and was nicer to Chris Pyne, perhaps he would have got promoted.
