State Budget

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:57): Thanks, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Premier. When was the last time the Premier visited a Housing Trust tenant in a cottage flat?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:57): Can I just say that I'm out visiting people right across South Australia all the time. It is a broad question. I've got to say—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Order, members on my left! The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I'm out talking with people the whole time—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —whether they be in a Housing Trust property, whether they be in their own property, whether they be in a caravan, or whether they be on a beach throwing a line in. We are out talking to the people of South Australia all the time, listening to them about their ambitions for this state. Let me tell you, sir, that their ambitions for this state have been included in the state budget which was brought down yesterday. The people of South Australia—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —wanted a government that dealt with the mess that was left by the former government. They wanted a government that was going to come in, deal with the mess and deliver every single one of the promises—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —that were made in the lead-up to the election, and that's exactly and precisely what we have done. Of course, those on the opposite side are all incredulous; they have never seen a government for the last 16 years that have come in and implemented what they said they were going to do. What we had time and time and time again was the former government going to an election with one—

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Point of order, sir.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —set of commitments—

The SPEAKER: There's a point of order. Premier, please be seated for one moment. The point of order?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: It's debate, sir; he's debating the question.

The SPEAKER: Debate. The question, I believe, was about visiting Housing Trust tenants. I believe that the Premier is coming back to the substance of the question. Premier.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I don't have a date and a time and a GPS location on me at the moment, but I am out talking to South Australians every single day that I am in this role.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Leader of the Opposition.
