The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly West Torrens Minister for Finance Minister for State Development Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy State Energy Plan The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:43): We announced the cost of Our Energy Plan the day we announced it. Mr Marshall interjecting: The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: You get a sense of what kind of Premier he would be by threatening public servants. You can tell how his mind thinks. The moment he thinks a public servant says something that he doesn't like, his first instinct is to sack them. Talk about getting an insight into his thinking. Now— Members interjecting: The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS House of Assembly The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: —I know members opposite don't like the idea of publicly owned assets. They don't like the idea of publicly owned generation. No matter how much the opposition breach standing orders and just scream abuse into the parliament, it shows that their energy plan—which they refuse to talk about now. They refuse to talk about it, so much so that now the spokesperson on energy is the deputy leader rather than the shadow minister for energy It was the deputy leader who went out yesterday, not the shadow minister. The question is: why has he been benched? Could it be because he told the truth about what the actual benefits are of their plan? How humiliating must it be that the best outcome that they could have out of their energy plan, the biggest effect, is the do nothing option. The do nothing option gives you a better benefit than anything they do. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Chaffey is warned and the member for Unley is warned for the second and the last time. The leader.
