JOB CREATION

Mr PISONI (Unley) (14:59): My question, again, is for the Minister for Employment, Training and Further Education. Can the minister clarify whether the government's election promise of an extra 100,000 training positions is included in or is in addition to the promise of 100,000 jobs promised over six years during the election campaign?

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) (15:00): The central commitment of the government—

Mr Pisoni interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. M.D. RANN: You would know, wouldn't you? The man behind the dodgy documents. You will be famous for bringing down your leader, that is what you will be famous for.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

Mr PISONI: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. This is about debate.

The SPEAKER: The Premier.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Dodgy debate, dodgy documents, forged receipts, all of that, up to your ears in it; brought down his own leader, but anyway—

Mr PISONI: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. The Premier should answer the question about Carnegie Mellon if he is taking other answers for the minister. Tell us about Carnegie Mellon while you're at it. Come on tell us—

The SPEAKER: Order! Sit down when you make a comment.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: Can I just say that the central commitment of the government is to work with the business community to create 100,000 extra jobs in South Australia over the next six years. And why are we confident of doing that—because over the last years, I think 113,000 jobs were created, which was massively more jobs, both full-time jobs and in totality, compared to the eight years of the former Liberal government, because you were not interested in jobs—

Mr WILLIAMS: Madam Speaker, I rise on a point of order. It is both relevance and debate. I believe it is standing order 98. The question was quite simple: were the extra 100,000 training jobs the same extra 100,000 jobs that you are claiming to create? A simple question.

The Hon. M.D. RANN: The 100,000 jobs within six years will be underpinned by 100,000 training places—and do you know something, that is absolutely budgeted for. The one thing everyone knows about that side of politics is you don't give a damn about jobs for working people.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The member for Reynell.
