MR SMYTH
(Leader of the Opposition) (12.50 am): The opposition will be opposing this bill because it is an attempt by the government to turn back the clock, given that it did not get it is own way with its proposed rating system. The government defeat on the proposed rating system has to be sheeted home to the government's lack of ability to put together a fiscal policy in a bill that works. It was a bill that was supposed to deliver equity that did not.
