LAND TAX INCREASES, BUSSELTON-MARGARET RIVER AREA
I ask a supplementary question. Mr McGinty: You have an unhealthy interest in the Liberal seat of Busselton, have you not? Mr TRENORDEN: I have a big interest in the seat of Busselton. It will be a National Party seat after the next election. Does the Treasurer concede that the new land tax scale and the Valuer General’s valuation will dramatically increase revenue to the State? Mr RIPPER

AnswerView source ↗
What an extraordinary question! If people are complaining about tax increases, that automatically means that the revenue to the State will be increased. I have another piece of information to offer the House. The Valuer General is not in my portfolio, but I have just been advised that the Valuer General will be meeting with affected landowners later this week.
