            <by role="member" id="605">The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (16:53):</by>  I will not repeat the debate from the previous bill. I will just add the additional element that the respected market research company Quantum Market Research, when they conducted research in June this year, asked a question about whether or not there would be support for this particular issue to be put to a referendum and 61 per cent of adults agreed that they wanted the chance to have a say in a referendum.</text>
          <text id="2021082653574c6ee65b4016a0000610">Intriguingly, the households of retail workers demographic showed a much higher support: 74 per cent of retail workers' households actually supported this issue being put to a referendum. Of households that cared for children, 71 per cent supported this issue being put to a referendum.</text>
          <text id="2021082653574c6ee65b4016a0000611">This was an opportunity—which according to the publicly stated positions is unlikely to succeed—for those who were unprepared to vote in favour of this to say, 'Let the people of South Australia decide.' Again, as I understand it, from at least the publicly declared positions, that is unlikely to occur. However, we will test the water and divide anyway.</text>
