Hi Rob.
Go the Australian way, Stop the boats. The Greens would change this. In this small town we have people who came here five years ago, got a house through a church {Not their own] and now just sit there and feed of the working peoples taxes.

Re: council tax
Here in Victoria the state gov some years ago made amalgamations between some reducing the number from 178 down to 76. They want it reduced eventually to 50.
But we have a rates cap currently at 2% so increases are not too bad.
Also included is the fire insurance and two tip passes to allow dumping at the local tip. trailer up to the size of double axle is allowed.


Happy daze John in Oz.
