Negative Gearing

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (14:59): My question is to the Premier. Does the Premier agree with federal Labor's position on negative gearing? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr TELFER: It has been reported today that the Prime Minister has refused to rule out any further changes to negative gearing.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Point of order, sir.

The SPEAKER: I am not sure that that question is in order given that—

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It offends standing order 97, sir.

The SPEAKER: Yes. I rule that question out of order. The Premier isn't responsible for federal Labor policy.

Mr Telfer: Sir, with your leave?

The SPEAKER: Have another go, member for Flinders.
