GOVERNMENT LEAKS

Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:47): My question is now to the Attorney-General. Is the Attorney aware of the leaker of the Premier's policy release schedule?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:48): I thank the honourable member for the question. Like my colleagues, I am not able to answer that question either, because I don't have that information. However, I do make this observation: when I first saw this in the paper and I understood the attending kerfuffle that was going on, I did say to myself, 'Actually, this is not what people should be worried about,' because it says we have a government that is busy, we have a government with ideas, we have a government that wants to speak in plain English, we have a government that has fiscal responsibility central to what it is doing, and we have an opposition with no policies at all, except that they are going to repeal the law that prevents people eating dogs and cats.

Members interjecting:

Ms CHAPMAN: Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: No, I have to do some warnings before then. The member for Finniss is called to order, the member for Davenport is warned for the first time, the member for Adelaide is warned for the first time, the member for Hammond is warned for the second and final time and the member for Morialta is called to order. Thank you for your patience, deputy leader.
