OUTBACK COMMUNITIES ADMINISTRATION MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Hon. G.M. GUNN (Stuart) (15:09): My question is to the minister representing the Minister for State/Local Government Relations. How much do residents who come under the auspices of the Outback Areas Community Development Trust have to pay under the government's new Outback Communities Administration Management Plan, which proposes a charge on these particular residents for the first time?

Ms Breuer interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order, the member for Giles!

The Hon. G.M. GUNN: The honourable member is the only one who is happy about paying a new tax.

Ms Breuer interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. G.M. GUNN: I will tell them that she is the only one happy about it. Well done. Congratulations.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. G.M. GUNN: I am sure the Greeks at Coober Pedy will be thrilled.

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. G.M. GUNN: I will have much pleasure in telling them. May I explain, after that rude interruption. They put me off my line. Under the government's draft bill there is a provision headed, 'Rates on lands assets and levies on the community contributions will be required'. These charges are new and will affect people in drought-affected areas and isolated parts of the state. So, I would be grateful if the minister could tell us who and how much they are going to pay.

The Hon. P.F. CONLON (Elder—Minister for Transport, Minister for Infrastructure, Minister for Energy) (15:11): On behalf of the relevant minister and out of enormous respect for the member for Stuart, whom I hope one day to name something after, I will get a full report from the relevant minister.
