CASINO CONTROL (AMENDMENT) BILL 1994
Debate resumed.
MS FOLLETT: Mr Kaine is proposing that the junket tax rate, the subject of this legislation, should be subject to a sunset clause that comes into effect on 1 January 1997. That does not give me any great cause for concern. It is not in conflict with my intentions; in fact, if anything, it actually extends the period of the lower tax rate that I have proposed. Madam Speaker, I again thank members for their comments. I thank them also for taking the trouble to be briefed on the matter.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
Bill agreed to in principle.
