TREASURER'S REMARKS

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Was the Premier aware that new treasurer Snelling considers the capitalistic system as having 'flaws that cannot be overcome' when the Premier appointed him as treasurer? Previously the Premier revealed that he didn't know that the member for West Torrens had over 60 traffic offences when he appointed that member as the minister for road safety.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

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) (14:30): It is quite clear to me—and obviously the pantomime continues—that this government, like all good governments, is a bridge. We're neither left nor right. We're neither forward nor back. We draw on each of those. So, I'm very pleased that this government is a bridge between capitalism and social democracy.
