Land Tax

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:36): My question is again to the Premier. Given that the Minister for Environment has told InDaily that he will not be subject to the new land tax aggregation measures, and the Treasurer has indicated that he would be, which minister is correct?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:37): I am not going to be providing this house with a commentary regarding a person's portfolio. I have no expertise to provide that legal or accounting advice whatsoever. That is not my role.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: We have made it very clear that we would like to see a reform with regard to land tax. This was an issue that had been raised with the previous government over a long period of time, but they were content to sweep this problem under the carpet, under the mat, out of sight, out of mind, and preside over the highest marginal rate of land tax in the entire country. This was helping to make South Australia an unattractive place for investment. We are working through the mess that we inherited from those opposite. I will not be coming in here providing specific tax or legal advice—

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: They are all right behind you.

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is warned for a second and final time.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —to anybody with regard to their property investments.

The SPEAKER: If this level of interjection continues, respectfully, members, I will be asking members to depart the chamber. We will switch to the member for Narungga. I will come back to the member for Lee.
