The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:17): Supplementary to the Premier: the Premier just said that he would hold his federal counterparts to account rigorously. What does that look like?

The Hon. P.B. MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Premier) (14:17): It represents us using the full force of the state government to advocate positions both formally and informally, both privately and publicly. We will not be holding back in our remarks that we put on the public record just because the commonwealth government may be of the same political persuasion as the state government, which I think is something that might be a bit of a contrast to governments prior, but our views are firm in this regard, and we will be advocating accordingly.
