EVANS House of Assembly Davenport CAR PARKING LEVY The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (14:33): A supplementary if I could, Mr Speaker. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: A supplementary. The Hon. I.F. EVANS House of Assembly The Hon. I.F. EVANS: Premier, given your answer about the separate ownership of the car park and then that owner leasing it to an operator, will the government rule out legislating to override any contract between an owner and an operator of a car park that prevents the car park tax from being passed on from the owner to the operator if the owner is taxed under your proposal? The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL House of Assembly Cheltenham Premier Minister for State Development Minister for the Public Sector Minister for the Arts The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Treasurer, Minister for State Development, Minister for the Public Sector, Minister for the Arts) (14:34): I thank the member for his question. We'll certainly, in the consultation process, hear all of the arguments advanced by any of the interested players, if you like, in that sector. If that's a proposition they advance to us, that that is necessary to overcome contractual arrangements they have to ensure that the taxation arrangements can be equitably implemented, then that's something that we will consider, but I'm not ruling anything in or out yet. One, I haven't had that proposition advanced to me yet and, secondly, I don't know what the attitude of the government would be upon consideration.
