          <by role="member" id="4338">Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:09):</by>  Thank you, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer stand by the comments made by the Premier that federal Labor will not be able to deliver on its Gonski commitments without an increase in the GST to 15 per cent?</text>

          <by role="member" id="633">The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (15:09):</by>  The Premier just answered that question and, despite the opposition attempting to say that there is somehow a different position from his cabinet to the Premier's, I can assure the house that everyone is in lockstep behind our Premier. This party has a proud history of supporting our leaders. That is why we can boast two leaders in 25 years, and that is why we are proud to be in this cabinet, because we support our Premier to go out and fight for South Australia. So far, the opposition has offered no alternative to the $80 billion worth of cuts to health and education that their colleagues have imposed upon the nation.</text>
