State Liberal Party

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): My question is to the Premier. Given the important circumstances the state now finds itself in, does the Premier accept it is important to be able to provide stable leadership to the people of South Australia, rather than having a government imploding around him?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! Does the Premier seek the call? The Premier.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:20): The reality is we've got a strong plan for South Australia. We have had a strong plan since the very first day we came to office—

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis: With 25 MPs.

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is warned for a second time.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and what we are doing is we are delivering. How does that compare with those opposite who have now been in opposition for 3½ years? They are still yet to release any useful policy. The major policy—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —that they have announced—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —had a $5 million black hole in it. So that's what we have had from the opposition: getting into the gutter as quickly as possible at every single opportunity. By contrast, we are implementing our strong plan, which is keeping our state safe and our economy strong.
