CAR PARKING LEVY

Mr MARSHALL (Norwood—Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: This is a third supplementary.

Mr MARSHALL: Yes, you are quite right. Will the health department be allocated additional funds to pay the car park tax on its 1,890 car parks?

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 agencies to manage within their budgets. There are arrangements where some of the costs associated with car parks within the South Australian public sector will be exempt. For other fleet vehicles there may be a modest cost to government, but others will be borne in terms of negotiations between the employer and employees. The balance of any budget effects will be borne by agencies.

Mr MARSHALL: Could I ask a supplementary to the health minister, sir?

The SPEAKER: No, I think three supplementaries on top of a question is a lot, and in fact I warn you for the first time for that bellowing interjection. The member for Ramsay.
