Budget Forecast

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:10): My question is to the Treasurer. Regarding your horrific budget forecasts for 2019-20 and beyond, would the South Australian government support a rise in the GST and/or a tax levy? Has this measure been recently canvassed or proposed by the federal Treasurer and the Prime Minister in light of the dire economic forecasts caused by the pandemic?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:11): There is a very easy answer to this: no and no.
