The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:30): Supplementary arising from the original answer: who are these one or two other jurisdictions that are considering this tax, or is the Treasurer just making this one up a little bit?

The PRESIDENT: Well, I am not sure where that came out of the original answer, but I will allow the Treasurer to answer it.

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:30): As I said at the press conference on Tuesday, I will not out the other jurisdictions. All will be revealed in due course.

The PRESIDENT: I call the Hon. Mr Hood.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Hanson is out of order and so is the honourable deputy leader.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: Why don't you chuck a couple of them out?

The PRESIDENT: And I don't need any assistance from the Hon. Mr Ridgway. The Hon. Mr Hood has the call.
