BUDGET FORECAST

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Final supplementary on this topic, sir.

The SPEAKER: If it be a supplementary.

Mr MARSHALL: Can the Treasurer at least update the people of South Australia with regard to the final position and can he rule out any further deterioration in the projected deficit of $1.2 billion this year?

The SPEAKER: Okay, that is clear, thank you. Treasurer.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:41): These are matters for the budget. They have always been matters for the budget.

Mr Marshall interjecting:

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL: Well, you will have to wait and see. We can do this all the way to budget day, but it is consistently never done. We never reveal the final position until budget day, because we are still collating information, in particular, some pretty important information that will flow from the federal budget, which could have a direct bearing one way or the other on the way in which the final forecast result occurs in South Australia. So, we wait until the federal budget and then we reveal those matters in a complete way to the South Australian community. This is how it has always been done; it is how it is going to be done this year.
