Land Tax

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:49): My question is for the Treasurer. Can the Treasurer advise the house what provision for loss of land tax revenue he has included in the budget forward estimates associated with the announced removal of stamp duty on commercial real property transactions?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy, Minister for Small Business) (14:49): What provision of land tax loss there is on the abolition of conveyance duty? I think he perhaps should re read that question and come back.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: I will re-read it.

The SPEAKER: No, the member for Stuart will not re-state it.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: He just asked me to re-read it.

The SPEAKER: No, he asked you to cogitate upon it.

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN: His words were 're-read'.

The SPEAKER: I don't think they were, actually, if you check Hansard. Does the member have a supplementary question? If not, we will go to the member for Mitchell.
