Land Tax

The Hon. F. PANGALLO (15:09): A supplementary: with land prices skyrocketing, does the Treasurer now expect that many more would have to go through that threshold, and be paying more land tax?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (15:10): If they are skyrocketing they will be delighted, those of them at the top level. The top level of land tax has been reduced from 3.7 per cent to 2.4 per cent, so they will be delighted at the changes in relation to that.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Order! The Hon. Mr Darley has the call.
