This very same argument was put to us a couple of days ago about individual properties. Is this not potentially the legislation being discriminatory with regard to a set of rights and obligations? Somehow, because someone owns nine properties, they will be in a better position in society because they have larger ownership. They will be conferred with a better position just by virtue of the fact they have more resources than a person who owns one property.
