Land Tax

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (14:14): My question is to the Premier. Will the Premier make any further changes to his latest land tax policy?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order, sir: proposing the details of amendments on a bill that is before the house is against the standing orders.

The SPEAKER: I have the point of order. That is open enough to allow an answer that does not breach standing orders. I'm going to allow an opportunity but I do admit that we are close here. I caution members. I am going to allow an opportunity for an answer.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier) (14:15): As I said, we're up for reform.

The Hon. S.C. Mullighan: Is the capitulation catchy?

The SPEAKER: The member for Lee is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: It ain't over until the fat lady sings. We have a long way to go in this debate. We have a lot of good arguments that we will be putting forward in the chamber. I would like to thank members for—

The Hon. A. Piccolo: So that's a yes. That's a yes.

The SPEAKER: The member for Light is called to order.

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL: —their contributions on the bill to date. Let's just see how this debate continues.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Playford is on two warnings.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: I will come to the member for Waite. Leader, if this continues you will be going back to back. Member for Lee.
