Goh, Dr T.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:57): A supplementary arising from the original answer about critics and what people are saying about land tax: how does the Treasurer seem to know so much about the different cars and the drinking preferences of Unley dentist Dr Timothy Goh?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:57): I read The Australian article with great interest this morning and the Bentley was there, and I was automatically drawn to it. In the discussions I have been having with various people they have indicated to me that there are a number of other aspects of his social media post which might be of interest. The article in the paper today and the follow-on in InDaily, as I understand it, are of great interest, but they are publicly available social media posts. The Leader of the Opposition clearly doesn't understand social media. If you post something, it's out there. If you put up a photograph, it's out there. If you make statements, they're out there. It is public. It is not as if it is private, personal or confidential information.
