Train Services

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier have the authority in his party room to reverse the decision to shut down all train lines during this weekend's test?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:13): It's really—

Mr Brown: Apparently not.

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: This is a story from last week and it shows the lack of depth and focus of the opposition—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —in the South Australian parliament. They are wanting to reheat a story from last Thursday or last Friday.

Mr Malinauskas: When you lost your vote in the parliament.

The SPEAKER: Leader, order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: That is when this actually occurred. They have run out of things to actually talk about. They have run out of ideas. With the first two questions of the final sitting week of this parliamentary year, the Leader of the Opposition chooses to go backwards in time. I noticed that not all members of the press pack even turned up to his press conference today, so he is trying again. If nothing else, he is persevering.
