RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (16:00):</by>  Supplementary question: if the minister does not believe that it is a racial attack on the candidate for Elder, does that mean that this type of material will be acceptable and that we will see it in future Labor Party campaigns?</text>

They lost the election. It was an unlosable election and they lost, and this is nothing but sour grapes. I reject the assertions that the Hon. David Ridgway makes. Everyone is entitled to their point of view. Journalists and other members of the public are entitled to their point of view. I do not share the points of view that the Hon. David Ridgway quoted. I do not share those views.</text>
