Land Tax

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:49): Will the Premier release all Treasury and independent modelling used to formulate his latest land tax policy?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:49): The modelling is pretty clear: 92 per cent of people end up better off. That is what we have modelled up. That is exactly and precisely what we have modelled up—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —and I think the people of South Australia are very happy with that information. Those opposite and other—

The Hon. T.J. Whetstone interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The Minister for Primary Industries is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —opponents to reform have been out there, in some ways scaring the people of South Australia. I have had all sorts of people ringing up, suggesting that they have been told by all sorts of characters—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —that they are going to be worse off. I have had a lot of calls over the last 20-something hours saying that they are very relieved that some people got it wrong and that they are actually in line for a reduction.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: Of course, as we know—we have published the figures already—92 per cent of those individual investors will be better off, not worse off. They will be better off under the land tax reform, delivering $70 million over the next three years.
