One Nation strongly condemns a proposal supported by Greens indigenous affairs spokesperson Lidia Thorpe for non-indigenous Australians to pay a race based rent tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rent tax scheme would see millions of Australians thrown further into poverty as their rents balloon or families pay more on top of their ever-increasing mortgages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The model would see Australian property owners pay a weekly “rent” tax to Indigenous groups based on their ancestral claim to the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Any \u201cPay the Rent\u201d scheme, which is being promoted and backed by celebrities, would see homeowners voluntarily paying a percentage of their income to a body led by Aboriginal elders with no government oversight or intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A rent tax proposal is not only unnecessary, it\u2019s also deeply flawed and unjust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is a form of discrimination that penalises property owners simply because of their race, and it would be a financial burden on hardworking Australians who have already paid taxes to support their communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One Nation believes this proposal is a distraction from the real issues facing Indigenous communities, such as poverty, unemployment, and crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of proposing a controversial and divisive race-based rent tax, One Nation calls for Australians to unite as one country and reject the left\u2019s pro-apartheid madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This scheme is the worst type of discrimination, and it is not a solution to the problem of reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, One Nation strongly opposes the proposed “Pay the Rent” model and calls for a renewed commitment to addressing the real issues facing Indigenous communities through effective and unifying government policies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
