I will comment briefly on one point. I wish to flesh out the point made about property and land. While we have seen the property tax rolled out and more recently the zoned ground maps being finalised, I am pretty sure the farming community would be alarmed at the idea of further land being included and reasonably so. It is possible to have the side of a mountain worth very little but with a large acreage. I would like to tease out a little further how the witnesses would see this proposal operating in this context. It must surely be expected that there would be resistance to it.
