Did you see the new home affordability articles? New homes, especially in Sydney, attract taxes and duties worth more than the land the house sits on

What on earth made you think all the politicians actually live here? They only stay here when parliament is sitting, the rest of the time they are back where they came from letting off fireworks and watching pornStereo wrote:Thats the same in VICfrl0173 wrote:More so here in NSW were the state gov has yet to abolish the taxes it was meant to after the introduction of the GST.Neka79 wrote:we get ripped off dont we!!

Which taxes are we talking about? Income tax is the same for everyone, so it would have to be one of the many fees, stamp duties etc. that people get charged when they buy, sell and use anything...so most of the time they are paying them wherever they are living which isn't usually Canberra.
...and those sort of taxes are usually determined at a local level anyway, so it's not the Federal politicians who have a say. If the ACT got rid of them and NSW or VIC didn't, that has nothing to do with the Feds.
...sorry, I just hate the Canberra bashing when people are referring to Federal politicians...they aren't ours, they're yours. They just meet here every now and then, we don't want them

based on the history of the placeStereo wrote:

Canbra was a political decision..by politicians
remember..the Federal parliament met in Melbourne originally
and the politicians complained about that
and when it was suggested that Parliament move to Synney
there were more complaints
and so to decide (and I reckon in hindsight....satisfy no-one)
the politicians came up with ...Canberra
which btw
happens to be the only city in the world
that was created by and for politicians
cheers
