House debates Questions without Notice: Additional Answers
Taxation
Malcolm Turnbull Wentworth, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
3:10 pm
I discern from the member for Grayndler's questions that he was inquiring as to the government's intentions with respect to taxing land. I can assure the honourable member that the government has no intention—no plans whatsoever—to impose taxes on land of the kind that he describes, and I would doubt very much whether there was any constitutional ability to do so in any event.
Tony Smith Speaker
