Victorian government could be selective in applying land tax on residents based on race

There are reports the Victorian government may choose to not apply land tax on certain residents based on whether they’re Indigenous.
Former Victorian Liberal Party President Michael Kroger says activists should focus on “real problems” such as the situation in Alice Springs.
“There is an Aboriginal industry made up of activists who have largely got government jobs that love going to conferences in Canberra, that love talking about the politics of grievance, our history, etcetera,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“That train slowed very much at the time of the Voice where Australians said ‘stop trying to divide the country on the basis of race’.
“Stop the politics of grievance and history, get into the real world and do something about fixing the problems in the Aboriginal community.”

[@richardtravers8772]

[@BrianMurphy-t3u]

Ive always wonder how it could be considered fair that when aboriginals are given land they don't pay land tax on it .

Victoria has gone crazy. As a Tasmanian I’ve become leery of travelling on the mainland due to having to get through Victoria.

[@georgekordis4268]

Stay where you are until this incompetent government is ousted.

[@politenessman3901]

Fly over it. The last two times I've travelled internationally, I've flown direct to Sydney and gone out from there.

Pigeons and seagulls have been flying upside-down over Melbourne for the past 10 years... even they know the place is no longer worth 💩-ting on. Country Victorians are great folk. The problem we all have here is a Socialist government supported by inner-city commie loving Greens & Teals... pulling the entirety of a once great State deeper into the sewer with it. An even larger problem is, what Labor, Greens and Teals have done to Victoria... they will do to the rest of Australia, if not stopped.

No division equality to all Aboriginal should NOT have special benifits.

[@speedymccreedy8785]

Meaning one privileged group pay less and everyone else pays more. The aboriginal industry perpetual consumption of taxpayer dollars roll on.

Why stop at race ? what about shoe size ? political views ? age ? height ? weight ? eye color ? the possibilities for maniacs are endless !

[@UnknownUser-sc6jx]

Everyone should stop paying tax. Don't pay income tax, don't pay land tax, don't pay rates. Taxation isn't a obligation it's a system that's ment to benefit the tax payer this is racism and segregation stop paying!

[@justinwolff1416]

60,000 years of tribal wars, dreamtime, walkabout, and stagnation -vs- 236 years of hard work, education, mining, technology, manufacture, infrastructure, building, farming, international trade, health welfare & legal systems, and emergency services... progress. Perhaps it's time WE demand compensation from the aboriginal, for THEIR use of all WE have provided THEM over the years. We are either ONE NATION standing together as one with no racial privilege, or we are TWO NATIONS divided by colour/race. If we are the latter, then let the aboriginal community embrace racism and fully fend for themselves. No more use of whitefella taxes, goods, services, housing, infrastructure, etc...

Any TOM DICK & HARRY can raise taxes. The question is learning a lesson for the future & applying a strategy to balance the debt collection rather than only property owners.

[@arlenesymes3452]

How many more freebies can one race get over all other Australians. This has got to stop.

[@NoChannelChannel]

Next cencus will show 10000% increase in people who identify as aboriginal

[@monamarie1984]

That one dude just mad they have to pay taxes and indigenous people don't have to. If that was their land and someone else took it- you should be paying them. 🤷🏽‍♀️ But I don't know the history of Australia.

[@ThatGuy-ze5kk]

the world was formed by people taking land, but that was all 100s of years ago. no one alive today has had anything 'stolen' from them... and granting special rights based on race is NOT OK!

[@paulreed8342]

We are all Australians some of us pay tax and some of us don't some groups actually get billions of dollars every year even if they do only make up 0.3 of the population and contribute nothing whilst the rest of us just get shafted and have to pay the debt nobody stole anybody's land you should really have a good hard-look at yourself after that comment your part of the problem
