Goods and Services Tax

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15:00): Further supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: You can have a further supplementary, but I expect a little bit of decorum on this side of the bench. You are asking this question; let him answer it in silence. Go ahead.

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY: Do you support the Premier's policy of increasing the GST to 15 per cent—a very simple question, Mr President.

The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:01): A very simple question that has a very simple answer. I support having a premier of this state who takes on the challenges that are brought before him. I support having a premier who wants to make sure that health and education funding in this state stack up.
