Land Tax

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:33): Supplementary arising from the answer given: can the Treasurer inform the chamber whether the Property Council were aware of the details of the changed package before the Liberal Party announced it?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:33): I had a number of discussions with the Property Council. They then considered it, as I understand it, through their processes, which involves whatever their equivalent is of a management committee or executive committee or a board. It was a decision taken by the Property Council through their processes. It was always subject to the cabinet and then the party room agreeing to any further amendments to the legislation.
