Question Time

Liquor Licensing Fees

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (15:08): My question is to the Treasurer. Is the Treasurer committed to delivering in full all of the measures contained in his budget? In particular, is the Treasurer committed to realising all of the revenue foreshadowed—some $3.2 million a year—with the introduction of revised liquor licensing fees informed by recommendations contained in the Anderson review, a measure as outlined in Budget Paper 5 on page 17?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:09): The government is committed to the budget that has been introduced into the House of Assembly yesterday. The simple answer to the question is, the government is committed to all expenditure measures that are, by inference, included in the budget and all revenue measures that are either by inference or explicitly referred to in the budget.
