State Budget

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:07): My question is to the Minister for Child Protection. Does the minister support all the government budget measures handed down in the most recent state budget?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:07): I have just answered—

Members interjecting:

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

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: It's like they can't hear, sir.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: It's as if, in swapping from one side of the chamber to the other, they have lost their hearing.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, members on my left!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I have just made it very clear on behalf of the government that this was a tough budget. It was a tough budget, but it was a budget that delivered on every single one of the promises that we made in the lead-up to the election. This is news to these people over there. They brought down budget after budget after budget, and very little of it was ever canvassed with the people of South Australia, especially in the lead-up to an election. By contrast, we work very well as a cabinet. Tough decisions have to be made and we are up to it.

The SPEAKER: Before I call the leader, I warn for the first time the members for Kaurna and Reynell.
