It has been a bad week for the Government with:

 

• Treasurer Foley’s $333 million Budget error
• Public Service rallies against cuts to long service leave, leave loading and threatened forced redundancies
• Community rally to halt the closure of The Parks Community Centre
• The Premier criticised by Social Inclusion Commissioner over the proposed closure of the Parks Community Centre
• No Labor MP speaking in support of the Budget in the main debate on the Budget

 

Yesterday when asked a question regarding the South Australian Cricket Association getting a $30 million loan for the Adelaide Oval upgrade, Treasurer Foley refused to answer the question and Minister Conlon tried to answer it.

 

In response Minister Conlon said:
  “I am not going to guarantee them 10 questions anymore...”

If the Government proceeds with this threat it will undermine the public confidence in the Parliament.

This is a sign of an arrogant government that is under pressure because it is tired and out of touch.
