MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:27): Thank you very much, sir. I was asked earlier by the Leader of the Opposition whether I personally support a right of veto. The answer to that was no. I am happy to have consultation. We as a party make our decisions—it's a very different beast from the Australian Labor Party. They make their decisions—well, in fact, nobody really knows. I remember when they got rid of Kevin Rudd— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S.

We make decisions of government within the cabinet. I was asked my opinion and I offered my opinion.
