CABINET MINISTERS

Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:19): I have a supplementary question. Will the Premier then guarantee that the members for Mount Gambier and Chaffey will remain in his cabinet through to March 2010 or, if they are removed from office, does he stand by his commitment made on radio on 22 November 2002 to contain the size of cabinet by not replacing them?

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (14:20): I am not sure what that was supplementary to, but I can tell the Leader of the Opposition that the members for Mount Gambier and Chaffey have my total confidence and support. Let me just explain something. The fact that the leader of the National Party and the member for Mount Gambier, who is an Independent, are in our cabinet is an example that we are a government for all the people of this state, rather than from the sectional interest groups that members opposite represent.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
