There is a "moral argument" that people who live and work in the regions should pay less tax than city dwellers, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says.
Mr Dutton made the comments at an appearance in Mount Isa alongside local member Bob Katter, a vocal proponent of a "zonal" tax system.
"I think there are arguments for people who live in regional towns where you're paying more for petrol, you're paying more for electricity, you're paying more for housing, there's an additional cost that comes with it," Mr Dutton said.
"We're happy to have a look at taxation arrangements."

"moral argument"? what moral argument?

I live in a small regional town. rents and house p[rices are far cheaper than in cities. fuel maybe a little dearer at our local major/regional city (half an hour away) but we save enormously in fuel consumption, reduced time to travel anywhere, less reasons (traffic lights, road works, pedestrian centres) to stop and waist for lights etc to change, food prices are pretty similar on the whole, council rates much cheaper etc etc.

its a massive cost saving living in the rural and regions.

so what is Dutton on about? whats this "moral argument"?

Housing more expensive in regional towns?

He is just talking shyte - trying to tap in to the 'inner city latte sipping' negativity. What a clown.
