Land tax and housing

This is a short diversion from Social Housing Month - but a necessary one. The Herald's Jessica Irvine has written a terrific piece on tax and housing, and especially the great advantages offered by reforming land tax. With the Commonwealth Government's Tax Forum on next week, it's essential reading.



(Well said, Ms Irvine!)
