House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, Second Session (54-2) 54 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Economic Stimulus Package Economic Stimulus Package The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly Lee Economic Stimulus Package The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:30): Supplementary, of course, to the Premier: can the Premier advise under what time frame he intends to answer these important questions? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Economic Stimulus Package The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:30): We are given a period of time to respond to those. Obviously we need to prioritise our activity during a global pandemic. We made it clear yesterday, I think in a fulsome answer, in fact three or four fulsome answers on this line of questioning, that it is a combination of expenditures which are essentially brought forward in accordance with the recommendations that were provided to COAG and then to national cabinet by Dr Philip Lowe, who is the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia. We haven't been trying to suggest for one second that this is new money, but it is money, much of which is brought forward from future periods into this period so that we can support jobs here in South Australia, but it is a very substantial package of more than $1 billion that is there to help preserve businesses and jobs through this period. It is quite extraordinary that those opposite would find a global pandemic and the response of a government funny, but what we have had today in parliament is I think an extraordinary response from those opposite, given the seriousness of the issue which we face here in South Australia. The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN House of Assembly The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order: I don't appreciate the reflection which has been cast upon me by the Premier. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I don't think it was a reflection on an individual, but what I would ask is for the interjections to cease because I am struggling to hear sometimes the question but definitely the answer when interjections continue, so if they could please stop I would appreciate it. Has the Premier concluded his answer? He has. We are moving to the member for Flinders and I will come back to the member for Lee.
