The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (15:30): My next question is to the Premier. What modelling has the Premier been shown about the likely impacts on South Australia's GST share following the 2026-27 financial year?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (15:30): I am surprised, absolutely shocked and surprised, that the member for Lee, the shadow treasurer in South Australia, someone who actually worked in Treasury for such a long period under the Hon. Kevin Foley, who was the Treasurer at the time, hasn't asked those questions to the person responsible for them—the Treasurer.

He has had estimates, and my understanding is that Mr Lucas answered every single question. He sat there very patiently and went through, in great detail, answering the questions the member for Lee asked. He is a very obliging member of the Legislative Council, and he is an excellent Treasurer. He has had two stints at the job. I'm not sure he has ever had quite the deficit we reached this year but, as I said, these are extraordinary times.

If the member would like to have detailed information regarding modelling that is undertaken in Treasury, it would probably be best to direct that question to the Treasurer, who is, of course, in the other place.
