FORESTRYSA

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (14:26): My question is again for the Treasurer. Given that the federal Future Fund invested in assets such as forests and, indeed, it is potentially an interested purchaser of our forests for its future fund, how is it good policy to sell the state's forests and then establish a separate future fund?

The Hon. P.F. CONLON: Point of order: given that the deputy leader has railed against debate for so long, I would suggest that there is argument in that question and it should be ruled out.

The SPEAKER: Yes; I was going to give that ruling. We are talking about debate and there was certainly debate in that question. I think I will rule that question out of order at this stage. The member for Taylor.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!
