Land Tax

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:35): My question is again to the Premier. Premier, is someone holding a portfolio of eight investment properties in different ownerships in Kingston Park, Oaklands Park, Mitcham, Christies Beach and Inman Valley required to pay land tax on aggregated land values?

The SPEAKER: Deputy Premier.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order! The Deputy Premier has the call.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General) (14:36): I am happy to receive the information and/or ask the member to refer the matter to the Treasurer if there was any circumstance in which he has a case suggesting that. Obviously, we are not in a position to provide legal or financial advice to the member in relation to the scenario that's been outlined. If he has any concerns—it's a constituent, for example, or someone who has approached him—

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: Or a minister of the Crown.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —in relation to it—

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is warned.

The Hon. V.A. CHAPMAN: —I would invite him to provide the information to the Treasury office.
