Employment Figures

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:12): Thanks, Mr Speaker. My question is to the Premier. Did the Premier's decision to abolish 29 job-creating programs contribute to South Australia now having the worst unemployment rate in the mainland?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: are they claiming that whatever programs they were were job-creating? There is argument in the case

The SPEAKER: The point of order is a rational one. I am going to allow the Premier an opportunity to respond.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:13): I refer the Leader of the Opposition to my first answer. It was comprehensive and outlined why South Australia is doing well—creating more jobs.
