 John PESUTTO (Hawthorn – Leader of the Opposition) (12:11): I desire to move, by leave:

That this house:

(b)   notes the government’s decision to blame ‘broader inflationary pressures’ not specific to the games;

(c)   calls on the Premier to release a budget update and guarantee no further blowouts.

Leave refused.
