A Current Affair story broadcast 16 Aug 2018 about the skyrocketing Council Rates across Australia - will only exacerbate the financial struggles being experienced by home owners - whether they are in Australia or not.
Absentees will cop it yet again with piles of bills and Land & Absentee taxes to wipe out incomes, savings and other nest eggs and force people to sell.
An elderly lady who owns a home was interviewed on the program and aptly stated, "Just because houses are selling at a high price doesn't mean people are rich" (4.15 to 4.20 minutes).
People are hitting the wall. This is a disgrace.
This causes more impetus to take action against the QLD labor government to demonstrate the ridiculously excessive taxes we have to pay to hold a property as an Aussie absentee when we are already paying and contributing in so many other ways at HUGE costs.
