Land Tax

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:43): Yes, it is. Can the Treasurer, or the Leader of the Government, please advise if his spies at the meeting last night also told him that lenders are now asking for advice on the exposure to land tax before they will sign off on loans to prospective investors?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:43): I didn't have to worry about having spies at the meeting; I didn't have any.

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Bourke, a supplementary.
