I mean like do you have an alternative to taxes? The whole point of this is you'd pay less after the switch.

Outside of holiday towns I don't think AirBNB is actually an issue it's such a small percentage of properties that it's really just marginal. Arguably they get a small subsidy for paying residential rates but most the time it's an apartment that gets the minimum rate so effectively a hotel is paying less.

In holiday towns it's similar but arguably they cause more dramatic spikes in rent but overall it should be similar. Tourists are also generating a lot of revenue and jobs so would you rather low rent but no jobs or higher rent but a competitive job market?

The people at prosper have put some thought into this. https://www.prosper.org.au/campaigns/stamp-duty-to-land-tax/ there scheme allows the elderly to defer the tax until sale which prevents them from being forced to sale but still incentivises it.

Looks reasonable. I've always used an accountant though.

Yeah, I don't know why OP made this about NA you lot have similar distances up there.

Fair enough but after renting a car and paying for fuel you might as well just fly and then you don't lose a whole day.

If you want to stop along the way, sure. If you are just doing it direct, you're insane.

That also says 50%? Also seems to be quoting musk too.

The absurdity is she's already on the board that determines interest rates. Maybe we can expect less of the problematic forward guidance but...

Yeah registration and fuel tax certainly covered a majority of it. This site has a breakdown and even with some of the dubious categories it's definitely still a significant portion. I suspect this also includes local roads which doesn't really make sense because you need them regardless of whether you have a car or not.
