MEMBERS STATEMENT

‘LAND TAX’.

Thursday, 19 March 2026.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (09:52):

At times the law is really unfair.

The family of a wonderful constituent in my community who is quadriplegic have sought a land tax exemption.

Despite being known to many Government Departments, because of the Land Tax Act 2005, the State Revenue Office will not recognise him as disabled unless he has been assessed by Services Australia.

In good conscience we need that law changed.
