Land Tax

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:23): My question is to the Premier. How does the Premier expect the thousands of land tax payers to meet the cost of his $86 million land tax aggregation measure?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:23): As I have outlined before, 92 per cent of individual investors will end up a lot better off under the land tax—

Ms Stinson: Well, what about the people impacted by the aggregation?

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

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —arrangements that we have brought forward. The only thing that is standing between these people and land tax relief, much long overdue land tax relief, is the Australian Labor Party. They haven't formed an opinion; they are going to hold a forum. They are floating around like a feather in the wind.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order.

Mr Malinauskas: The legislation is not even in the parliament. You should try talking to people here.

The SPEAKER: Leader, you can leave for 20 minutes under 137A.

The honourable member for Croydon having withdrawn from the chamber:

The SPEAKER: The member for West Torrens on a point of order. Debate?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Immediately, sir, within 30 seconds of getting up.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I have the point of order. It was about the cost of an $86 million land tax measure and something about aggregation. It is a fair point of order. I ask the Premier to come back to the substance of the question if he is not finished. He has finished his answer.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Supplementary, sir.

The SPEAKER: No, I am going to switch to the member for Narungga. I will come back to the member for Lee. Member for Narungga.
