As well as complimenting the Government of Victoria for producing a surplus for the first time for many years, he said: "The income tax is to be reduced, and this concession will tell most favorably in the interests of Victoria, by retaining within it a large amount of money which since the passing of our Income Tax Act (which is the highest in the world) has been other· wise bestowed.
