R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council State Major Bank Levy The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (14:40): I have a supplementary question arising out of the minister's answer. The Hon. K.J. Maher Legislative Council The Hon. K.J. Maher: Original answer? The Hon. R.I. LUCAS Legislative Council The Hon. R.I. LUCAS: Original answer. Does the minister support the federal government's bank tax? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy 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) (14:40): Federal Labor supported it and we support the federal government's initiative, as the state Liberal opposition here seemed to at the time. They made no comment about it. I would challenge the Hon. Rob Lucas to say that at the time he supported the federal government's initiative. As shadow treasurer in this state, what measures did he take in condemnation of his federal counterparts at the time? I am sure he is going to get up and in his next supplementary list all the public comments he made condemning his federal counterparts. If he can't, it shows the absolute hypocrisy of that bloke opposite.
