As the member said, it is not our policy to change the
royalty arrangements or the user charges. In fact, we are not going to do what
the member for Victoria Park proposes, which is to increase the tax on the
family home. He has gone out and proposed a broad-based land tax on the family
home. We are not going to do that either.
