... David LIMBRICK: The Libertarian Party will also be supporting this amendment. It seems entirely reasonable, and it does seem unfair that someone pay tax on property that they are unable to use. I will also be supporting this amendment. Suggested new clause agreed to; new clause postponed; clauses 17 to 23 agreed to....

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:26): (962) My question is for the Minister for Regional Development.

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:30): I thank the minister for that answer.

... David LIMBRICK (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (17:32): (1737) When the Professional Engineers Registration Act 2019 was introduced back in 2019, I was opposed to the idea.
