Federal Election

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:11): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier preference Clive Palmer when he votes at the federal election?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:11): I'm not really sure—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I'm not really sure whether the Leader of the Opposition knows the way our voting system works.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I'm going to be voting Liberal. I'm not sure who you are going to be voting for. It is slightly disturbing that you are wanting to understand how it works for somebody who wants to vote for one of the two major parties. Maybe the Leader of the Opposition isn't voting for the Labor Party. Maybe he wants to send his vote there circuitously via a whole pile of other ragbag political parties in Australia. I am very clear who I am voting for at the next election: I will be voting for the Liberal Party in Sturt.
