Land Tax

The Hon. I. PNEVMATIKOS (14:55): My question is to the Treasurer. Does the Treasurer now regret that the Premier did not attend more budget cabinet committee meetings which canvassed the land tax aggregation measures?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:55): I don't regret anything that the Premier does or doesn't do. The question makes some assumptions which are not accurate.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Treasurer, please show some respect for your whip; he is on his feet. The Hon. Mr Stephens.
