Land Tax

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (14:42): A further supplementary—

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: How many times do you want me to answer? I have answered it three times.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: You change your answers all the time, so it might be different.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas interjecting:

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Has it changed since the last time you answered?

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Scriven, please sit down for a moment. Treasurer, this is not helping me, having a conversation seated. The Hon. Ms Scriven, would you like to ask the supplementary?

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: I would like to hear the supplementary in silence—I may not allow it, but I would like to hear it in silence.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: So why didn't the modelling or Treasury estimates contemplate that this could raise $118 million per year and not the $40 million first claimed?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:42): I have nothing further to add, Mr President.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Treasurer has answered the question. I have given you leave, and that is sufficient leeway, the Hon. Ms Scriven.

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN: Further supplementary, Mr President—final supplementary.

The PRESIDENT: I am going to be merciful and allow it, but those other two were not exactly within the standing orders.

The Hon. K.J. Maher interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: Leader of the Opposition, don't push your luck—I'm being generous to one of your members.
