Land Tax

Mr MALINAUSKAS (Croydon—Leader of the Opposition) (14:09): My question is to the Premier. Have you commenced negotiations with upper house crossbench members regarding land tax 6.0, or has the Premier finally established his final position?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: this question couldn't be more specifically related to the details of a bill that is in the middle of a debate in the house.

The SPEAKER: Yes, I let a fair bit go. I have had a look at Hansard. I tend to agree with the Minister for Education, and I uphold the point of order. I am going to move to my right and I will come back to those on my left. The member for Newland.
