"If you are going to cry the housing shortage debate you have to accept the land tax as fair and just."
That is crap cook - there is nothing just or fair about how land tax is calculated or what those that pay get for paying it!

I agree. You get nothing for it that you should be getting through your other taxes. It's a tax grab for the sake of it to bloat consolidated revenue. I would assume that a more useful use for it would be for roads/transport/land development etc., something relating to the pressures land usage 'imposes' on the state.
So anyone bleeting about non private land ownership should be grateful it's subsidising their services.
"Land tax is imposed on non exempt land by the State Government of Western Australia and forms part of the Consolidated Revenue of the State. The money is used to provide essential services to the community such as education, health, public safety and law and order."
