Motor Accident Commission

Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (14:20): Supplementary: does the Treasurer have any idea how this money is going to be treated or is he just not going to tell us?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:20): The budget will be handed down in June, and in June all of the opposition's questions will be answered. But I do point out that I find it amazing that the modern Liberal Party would be opposed to privatising compulsory third-party premiums and think that the government can do it better than the private sector. I am stunned that the one policy position they have is medical marijuana trials, but they won't privatise assets.

The SPEAKER: Point of order, member—

Mr PISONI: The Treasurer is moving away from the substance of the question.

The SPEAKER: If the opposition can't wear a bit of standard argy-bargy about the budget, they are somewhat thin skinned. You've finished? Thank you very much. Leader.
