EDIT: This stuff passing out of living memory does has an effect, too, I think. At mum's old work the guy who organised her payroll was postwar migrant from Germany, a lovely old man; I remember reading his wife's memoir of when they were pre-war Germany and remarking that someone in their street had been disappeared for simply having the BBC Overseas Service on their radio. They decided to get the hell out of there when they got the chance.

Yeah, this is pretty much why my grandfather's family noped out of Germany in the mid 30s. They were Jewish and saw enough of the things that were happening to realise getting out of dodge was the smart plan. Some of the extended family didn't have the same foresight and got to spend the rest of the war enjoying the Nazi's hospitality, to varying results.

Can they define a holiday home as having to be in a different state, for a start? At least that should stop people claiming it for their local investment properties.

That's a ludicrous suggestion. No state is ever going to want to support people buying holiday homes interstate, nor should it be forced on people that want to buy a beach shack.

I meant more removing the ability of people to claim local properties that definitely aren't holiday houses from being claimed as such. My real preference is to not have the exemption at all.

e: I mean, hell, if you can afford to own a holiday house I have no problem having it be taxed.

You do know that this vacancy tax only cover's Melbourne's inner and middle suburbs? If you have a holiday home in the city, then tough poo poo, you can afford the tax. I don't even know why there is an exemption for them in the first place. The $100k beach shack in Melbourne is a purely hypothetical example. If it applied to a small coastal towns, then yeah it'd suck.

It smells of the typical "think of the little battler!!!" argument used to distract everyone from the fact the only people really affected are at the complete other end of the scale and share nothing in common with them except species.

She got a handful of votes at the following council elections because everyone is sick of her.

I'll think you'll find that from the VCAT decisions mentions that she's been informed that "a majority of Bendigo supports [her]" :colbert:

Some quality trolling from Bolt, given his previous experience with lists of ten things


If you haven't read it the whole thing is worth a read and a great example of how Bolt is actively dishonest (which is also what happened in his RDA case; 18D gives you huge amounts of leeway as long as you're arguing in good faith).

That's always the most galling part of the whole 18C shemozzle; 18D gives you massive leeway to be a massive racist, you just need to be arguing in good faith. Strangely this seems to be a problem for most of the people who want to see this dismantled :iiam:
