House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Land Tax Land Tax Mr MALINAUSKAS House of Assembly Croydon Leader of the Opposition Land Tax Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:29): Does the Premier have the full support of his backbench for his latest land tax policy 4.0? The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly Dunstan Premier Land Tax The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:29): We discussed this in our joint party room on Monday— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Elizabeth is called to order. The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and, whilst we don't reflect on the votes, I am confident that we have the full support of the joint party room to do exactly and precisely what we said we would do—that is, go out and speak to the people of South Australia about this bill because this bill is good for the state. What we don't know is what those opposite are going to be doing. We don't know who they are going to be standing up for. We know we're standing up for the 92 per cent— Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —of people who are going to end up better off. We don't know who exactly they are going to be standing alongside. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Some people said that they have completely lost touch with the people who have traditionally supported them. Here, now, today, they are standing up for different groups across South Australia saying, 'Look, what we need to do is to have another forum.' In fact, I think the Leader of the Opposition said he needs to have a series of forums. What a weak lettuce leaf response to significant reform—because you don't have the ticker for reform! Members interjecting: The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: They don't have the stomach for government, and that's why this passionate team is sitting on this side of the chamber: because the people of South Australia threw you out of office. Members interjecting: The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: Order! The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL House of Assembly The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: They threw you out of office. They were sick of your politics. They wanted a government that was standing up for the people of this state. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The member for Waite is warned for a second and final time. The member for Finniss and then the member for Lee.
