Land tax
Tim BULL (Gippsland East) (09:45): Land tax is an issue I have raised in this house several times, but this one takes the cake, and it is good that the Minister for Health is here at the table. Orbost hospital, which has been asked to find savings in its budget, has been hit with a land tax bill on the parcel of land it provides free of charge to the Orbost Men’s Shed. We thought this must have been a mistake, but it is not. Surely a regional hospital offering land to a community group free of charge should not be hit with a land tax bill. I ask the Treasurer to rewrite this policy and please fix it.
