The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:34): Supplementary question, based on the minister's answer: approximately how much will the referendum cost in March 2018?

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (14:35): There won't be a referendum for as long as there isn't bipartisan support. It's already been stated clearly from the Leader of the Opposition that they don't have the intestinal fortitude to be able to pursue looking at this issue. The opposition has killed that issue. Each one of the members opposite has killed any opportunity to have a policy discussion going forward and, as such, there will not be a referendum in due course.
