Victoria's land tax timing sparks debate

[@Conky769]

Do Aboriginals get taxed on their 'vacant land'?

[@wayneyoung146]

What a great question 😅

[@Conky769]

Sounds like we need to put a house on every acre now.

[@lukei6255]

It is like asking if Charles lll gets taxed on crown land in Australia. Remembering his family stole this land from the Aboriginals.

[@andi9161]

​@lukei6255 No they came they conquered Aboriginals didn't fight hard enough for it Which was a common theme during 1600s to 1800s Like how USA was founded on Rape murder and kidnap its a sad story but it's life brotha

Taxpayers give $30B annually for 984,000 people (3.8% of the population) • Expenditure per person in 2012-13 was $43,449 on Indigenous Australian compare to $20,900 on other Australians a ratio of 2.08 to 1 and increase from 1.95 in 2009. 3,278 Aboriginal corporations • 243 Native title bodies • 48 Land councils • 35 Regional councils • 122+ Aboriginal agencies • 3 Advisory bodies • 145 Health Organisations • 11 Indigenous Federal MPs • 12 Culturally important Indigenous days • Senator Price says Australian taxpayers spend at least $100 million a day on direct support for Indigenous Australians. Every year $39.5 billion of direct government expenditure every single year. The figures are based on the 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report produced by the Productivity Commission. Issues of racial and social injustices are hardly ousted by elevating and heightening race (cultural identification, credentials). Especially on a political level, but also within the wider community. The Voice to Parliament is all about adding a new “Elite Canberra-based bureaucracy” in the constitution rather than reconciliation or recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Australia has over 270 cultures, let’s embrace them all, but most importantly let’s embrace the Australians who make up our country first. The individual, and not limit Australians as only their cultural identification, credentials. It began with a separate flag, (Hardly a unifying symbol. Oh you guys aren't Australian?). And has ballooned to billions of taxpayers money funding, and Acknowledgement of traditional owners, the loss of the ABC (now a mouthpiece for the cause) and a generational attack, offensive, assault on muti-cultural Australia that has left us divided, and embarrassed of Australia’s wonderful past. All to serve the self seeking, selfish interests of a very small militant, embittered and clearly corrupt organisation. This small ‘elite’ group has garnered incredible levels of power, and influence thanks to some very clever, and less than honest use of any available manipulation available to them, especially the weaponization of race. For decades our schools and Australian society in general has attacked, shamed and reviled our European heritage, while conversely literally inventing, exaggerating, and simply fantasising over Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ‘culture’. The Voice is not a path to reconciliation, and harmony it is a path to entrench structural racism within our nation's constitution. Something that should be abhorrent to all Australians but particularly so to Indigenous Aboriginal, and Torres Strait Islander’s. So please Greens, and The ALP don’t lecture and moralise any Australian on our tolerance, open-mindedness, or our almost universal acceptance of the Aboriginal people. The Voice is fluff, popular, crowd-pleasing, and overt virtue signalling, encouraging intolerance, narrow-mindedness, and dogmatism. Yet beyond this reality. The Voice is another expensive misuse of money that could and indeed should be actually being used to improve the lives of Australians. And perhaps even used to improve the lives of all Australians in need, without any thought to their race? Or their cultural background! Victimhood culture has taken over the Australian political landscape. Victimhood culture is another technique in obtaining power, and silencing opposition. The moment Australia stepped over the line from equality to a favoured group, we took a massive misstep. Vote no to this scam

[@voxac30withstrat]

Sparks 'Debate"? So far, the people I know, are NOT 'debating' this. Not even vaguely.

[@snellavision]

Plausible deniability

[@wayneyoung146]

DA. I can’t recall 😊😅

[@benjaminthame4174]

The land is vacant because the interest rates are to high! There some smart cookies!

[@jena.alexia]

And people can't get builders. There's a 2-3 year wait.

Milton Friedman said the property tax on the unimproved value of land, the Henry George argument, was the least bad tax.
