Land Tax

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:33): My question is again to you, Mr Speaker. Given the current parliamentary majority enjoyed by the current Liberal government, does the Speaker have reason to believe that there will be a tied vote on the Premier's land tax legislation?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order.

The SPEAKER: There is a point of order. I can see the Clerk running to my aid, but I will take the point of order.

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Well, it's a disorderly question for being hypothetical, if nothing else.

The SPEAKER: It is hypothetical. I believe that I referred to a hypothetical reason. I'm taking that to mean that there might in the future be a vote going a certain way or another. I think, respectfully, member for West Torrens, I have answered the question pretty thoroughly and I refer to my previous answer.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: May I rephrase, sir?

The SPEAKER: No, you may not.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: May I move on, sir?

The SPEAKER: Do you have another question?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS: Yes, sir. I do.

The SPEAKER: I will take one more.
