Local property tax filing deadline
Senator Hayden asks for a short extension to the property-tax filing deadline because older people are struggling, prompting opposing views on the tax.
I remind the House that today is the last day for filing property tax returns online. I note that up to now 1.35 million people have filed returns.

Will the Leader ask the Minister for Finance to grant an extra couple of days because older people are finding it somewhat difficult to deal with the returns? I believe that in time this tax will be seen as one of the most progressive introduced by a Government and will bring genuine accountability at local authority level.
