House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Government Radio Network Government Radio Network Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly MacKillop Government Radio Network Mr WILLIAMS (MacKillop) (14:57): A further supplementary, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: More of the same? Mr WILLIAMS House of Assembly Mr WILLIAMS: More of the same. Given the Treasurer's response to that, what other forms of communication was the emergency services minister referring to then? 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 The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:57): It is not my job to respond for the emergency services minister. The member for MacKillop, sir— An honourable member interjecting: The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Then why are you asking, because you are asking a question and I will answer it. The minister and the CFS manage risk and they manage it well, but the idea that the commonwealth government can keep on making cuts to these core delivery of services, expecting the states to step in with a decreasing revenue base and members opposite then criticising us for not stepping into the breach that their colleagues and friends in Canberra have made— Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: Point of order. The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —it's ridiculous. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The deputy leader surely isn't going to make the point that it is debate? Ms CHAPMAN House of Assembly Ms CHAPMAN: I would say relevance in the first instance—that would be the number one argument—on the basis that the question was quite simply about what other technology and instruments are being used, not what the commonwealth is doing. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Yes, I would uphold the point of order. An honourable member interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Oh, splendid, even better. The member for Morphett.
