Question Time

State Debt

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with the Treasurer that state debt of more than $21 billion forecast in his latest state budget will not be paid off in the Treasurer's lifetime?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:11): I have seen the Treasurer go down to the Myer Food Court at lunchtime over a long period of time. He has a high sugar diet. I'll be surprised if he makes it till the end of the month.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Leader of the Opposition has the call.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Leader of the Opposition, please be seated for a moment. Has everyone finished? The leader has the call.
