He has just handed down a State Budget with a $21 billion debt — and now South Australian Treasurer Rob Lucas is fielding questions about his indulgent diet and expected lifespan.

The State Government justified the debt as a way to build the state's economy while interest rates were at record lows.Opposition Leader Peter Malinauskas seized on the comments in"Does the Premier agree with the Treasurer, that state debt … will not be paid off in the Treasurer's lifetime?" he asked."Mr Speaker, I have seen the Treasurer go down to the Myer food court at lunchtime for a long period of time," Mr Marshall said.

"There is only one person who knows how long I'm going to live and that's the good Lord," Mr Lucas said.

Who give a rat's toss bag about a political death......the point is the dickhead over spent with SA taxpayers money.

THANKS TO LABOR
