Employment Figures

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (16:35): Supplementary: given that there have been 32 consecutive months of employment growth, will the Premier commit to continuous employment growth during the term of this government?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order: this is not a supplementary question.

The SPEAKER: To be clear, all questions must be asked through the Chair. All supplementary questions must come out of the answer that is given. I will permit it this time, leader, but after that I expect you to tighten up. Premier.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (16:36): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. My commitment is very clear: we will work every day in this parliament to create job growth here in South Australia. If those opposite want to rewrite history and if those opposite want to pat themselves on the back, let me tell you, sir, that they will be in opposition for a very, very long time.
