Land Tax

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens) (14:34): My question is to you, sir. Given your public statements on the Premier's land tax proposals, do you stand by your public statements that you have had no representations from constituents opposed to those proposals?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order: that question to you is nothing to do with your role as the Speaker. It is a question appropriately framed to a minister who is responsible for public affairs in an area, and the member for West Torrens knows that.

The SPEAKER (14:34): Yes, I thank the Minister for Education. I would like to know who has made that statement and in what context it was said. I would like to find out a little bit about who said it and where that statement was made. I am more than happy to talk to anyone who thinks that they may have heard something or otherwise to that effect. I think I have answered this question pretty thoroughly and I refer the member for West Torrens to my previous answer. I move to the member for Elder.
