Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): My supplementary question is again to the Treasurer. Given the Treasurer's answer, is he able to inform the house specifically of the unfunded superannuation liability facing the government and whether it has worsened from the forecast $9.3 billion announced in the Mid-Year Budget Review in December?

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Treasurer, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Federal/State Relations) (14:30): I have just answered that. That is the same question, and I have just given a very expansive explanation. The leader was obviously perhaps not listening or did not understand that the supplementary was asking the same question again. The answer is—

Mr Hamilton-Smith interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: Sorry? My total liability? I have already answered that. You have just repeated the question.

Mr Hamilton-Smith interjecting:

The Hon. K.O. FOLEY: You just repeated it. I could not be more open.
