As the Minister knows, People Before Profit opposes property tax, full stop. We believe the Minister would raise more money and it would be fairer to introduce a wealth tax and would help to get a budget surplus. However, given that property tax exists, he had promised a review at the beginning of last year and said people were deserving of certainty as to the future plans for property tax. Given the dramatic increase in property values and the potential for huge increases in people's property tax liability, what is happening with the review? What can the Minister tell us about what is coming down the line?
