Question Time

Public Transport

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:02): My question is to the Premier. Why didn't the Premier tell South Australians before the last state election that he would consider the potential privatisation of the train and tram network?

Mr Duluk: Why didn't you tell us that you wanted to close the Repat?

The SPEAKER: The Premier has the call. The member for Waite is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:03): The temerity of those opposite knows no bounds. Did those opposite tell the people of South Australia that they had plans to privatise the lands titles office, SA Lotteries and the forests in South Australia? Not a word.

The SPEAKER: Premier, please be seated. There is a point of order.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Not even 10 seconds in, and it’s all debate.

The SPEAKER: I have a point of order. It's not often that I defend the Premier. The question could arguably be seen to be a little bit provocative; it could have contained some argument. We allowed the question. I have allowed the Premier some time to get that off his chest, and now I expect him to come back to the substance of the question. The Premier has the call.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: I have nothing further.

The SPEAKER: The Premier has finished his answer.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. A. Koutsantonis interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens is called to order. The Leader of the Opposition has the call.
