          <by role="member" id="5419">The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:10):</by>  My question is to the Treasurer. Regarding your horrific budget forecasts for 2019-20 and beyond, would the South Australian government support a rise in the GST and/or a tax levy? Has this measure been recently canvassed or proposed by the federal Treasurer and the Prime Minister in light of the dire economic forecasts caused by the pandemic?</text>
