Emergency Services Levy

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (15:23): My question is to the Minister for Social Housing. What is the additional cost to the Housing Trust of the removal of the emergency services levy remissions?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The leader is warned for a second and final time, which puts him in the same category as the Treasurer.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (15:23): I find that offensive, sir. I could make jokes about day one of the campaign when he couldn't even mention his own name without stuttering the whole time or use it to great effect, or I could use other examples of his bumbling.

Members interjecting:

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: His friends can shout at me all they like. What I will do is get a detailed answer to the house to make sure the information the opposition has is entirely accurate.
