State Budget

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:49): A supplementary: the Treasurer has in the past 24 hours repeated ad nauseam that his budget has abandoned the salami approach. What foodstuff would the Treasurer sum up his budget with? I would suggest a lemon, given the sour bitterness of 16 years in the wilderness, but what foodstuff would he describe this new approach as?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:49): I thank the honourable member for her very generous description of the budget, but I am not going to enter into that particular discussion.
