Land Tax

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:23): A further supplementary: without disclosing the individual nature of conversations or of people he has met with, can the minister outline broadly, has anyone suggested to him that the government's land tax changes may harm investment in South Australia?

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment) (14:23): I thank the honourable member for his supplementary question. The nature of the discussions are, 'Well, what is actually proposed?' Because the consultation is going on, nobody quite knows what the final make-up of the package will be. The discussion that I have had with members of the community is, 'Why don't you actually sit down and have a look at the consultation as we move forward?'
