JOBS GROWTH FORECAST

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (15:03): My question is to the Premier. Can the Premier guarantee that the Mid-Year Budget Review will forecast the 100,000 new jobs that the Labor government promised at the last election?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (15:03): The Mid-Year Budget Review will be handed down soon, and all the opposition leader's questions will be answered and, at that point, of course, there will be nowhere left for the opposition leader to hide about releasing his policies.

We will be more than happy to give him all of the material he needs so that he can reveal his policies to the South Australian community. Obviously, there must be a truckload of these things all building up, because we have been promised them for such a long period of time. While we are looking for guarantees, will the Liberals match Labor's school funding, dollar to dollar?

Mrs REDMOND: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: The point of order from the member for Heysen is that this is debate and not germane to the question.

Mrs REDMOND: Precisely, Mr Speaker.

The SPEAKER: I uphold the point of order of the member for Heysen. The leader.
