Land Tax

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (16:12): A supplementary arising from the original question: the Treasurer confirmed in his statement that he was given prior warning from the member to ask this question—

The PRESIDENT: This is simply a question.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE: It is simply a question: on 29 March this year, the Treasurer confirmed, in this chamber, that 18,000 land tax assessments—

The PRESIDENT: No; it is just simply a question, the Hon. Ms Bourke, no explanation.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE: Did the Treasurer, on 29 March this year, confirm that 18,000 land tax assessments were yet to be sent? If so, how many from that 18,000 still remain to be sent?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (16:13): I will need to go back. If the honourable member is reading from a statement that I made or issued on whatever the date was, I am sure it was accurate at the time I gave it, but I will need to go back and check the date and the statement.
