Land Tax
MRS NOLAN: Mr Speaker, my question is also directed to the Chief Minister in her capacity as Treasurer. I refer her to the one per cent land tax that her Government introduced in relation to residential rental premises. What work was done by your Treasury in relation to any threshold that could have been introduced, and what revenues would have been raised had the threshold been introduced at $10,000, $20,000, $30,000, $40,000 or $50,000 on the unimproved capital value?

Government Service - Staff Reductions
MS FOLLETT: Mr Speaker, I have an answer to a question asked of me by Mr Duby last week. Mr Duby's question related to people who have been notified that they are potentially surplus officers.
