The ACT has an extra $80 million in surplus from what they budgeted according to this story. The coffers are boosted due to land sales we’re told, but I would say they’re also boosted by increases in rates, making telcos and utilities lease the land they use (costs which are passed straight onto us) and other levies (never taxes) that we’ve been hit with over the last year.
Does anyone know if any schools have been sold off yet and how much they have contributed to the ACT govt coffers.
