The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (15:24): Supplementary: is the minister confirming that the Premier promised prior to the election not to support an increase in the GST and he is now seeking to justify a broken promise?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (15:24): I am confirming that the federal Liberal government went to an election saying no cuts to health and no cuts to education and actually implemented exactly the opposite.
