Termination Payouts

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:48): My question is to the Premier. What is the cost of the termination payouts that have been made since your government coming to office?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:48): I have already made some public statements about the termination costs of the four chief executives who were terminated. They are a matter of public record. I can look them up for you if you are struggling over there.

The SPEAKER: I'm not struggling over here, sir.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: You aren't, sir. Can I just say you are doing an excellent job keeping everybody in line. It is the end of a long week, and it is a very well—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Please continue. The Premier will be heard in silence.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: It was good to see the parliament working hard last night, and the night before, through to midnight, because this will be a very hardworking parliament under the new government. Can I just say we could have got away earlier if the member for Lee did not go into so much detail in his response to the Supply Bill, but we encourage everybody to have their say, make their contribution, to this parliament. But with regard to all the payments that have been made, I do not have that number with me, but I will be very happy to provide that number to the Leader of the Opposition.
