Electricity Prices

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:14): Supplementary to the minister: are the electricity price increases in South Australia affecting the viability of the Regional Development Fund grant recipients in this state?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:14): That question has just been asked only a moment ago. I think the Leader of the Opposition has got the list that is given to him as he comes into question time every day and he has lost his place and he is asking the questions he already has asked. This is the way the Leader of the Opposition runs question time. He is given a list by his office, doesn't know what the questions are, doesn't know what they mean, and forgets when he has asked them and goes back to an earlier question he has already asked.

The SPEAKER: Point of order.

Mr PISONI: I ask that the minister return to the substance of the question.

The SPEAKER: The minister is finished.
