Land Tax

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (14:46): If that is the case, is Mr Makris connected to that company, Treasurer?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:46): I am not sure where the honourable member is getting—I am not quoting Mr Makris. I said that the company, Quintessential Equity, had bought a property from Mr Makris. How the Hon. Mr Pangallo gets from that that I was quoting Mr Makris, I have no idea. I have no idea when one quotes specifically that it actually bought a property from Mr Makris—and I was quoting from a newspaper report—how one could infer from that that I was quoting or putting words into Mr Makris's mouth. No-one listening or reading what I said, other than the Hon. Mr Pangallo, could actually infer that.
