Andrew Bolt slams push for Indigenous Australians to be exempt from land tax

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says a proposal for Indigenous Australians to be exempt from land tax is “extraordinary”.

Prominent Aboriginal Elder Aunty Jill Gallagher said Indigenous people should not be required to pay land taxes or council rates as part of treaty negotiations.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan will not rule out the push ahead of negotiations.

“We should actually thank Gallagher, first of all, for proving that you are going to get an endless ‘gimme gimme’ from this disastrous victim mentality Aboriginal industry,” Mr Bolt said.

“It’s the standard operating procedure.”

How is this still being discussed. The voters said NO…politicians have zero respect for Aussie voters.

. NO NO NO!!! We are all Australian human beings. No special dispensations. Supposedly we are the same except for skin colour.
ALL EQUAL

[Pearl-sd]

Omg it's 2024 pay your way like the rest of us stop sponging off the gov and tax payers .

[gregwaghorn]

Todays aboriginal are Australians.
Not first nation people.
Stop the BS

[Kaye-igwh]

Are we ALL EQUAL at this point in time? I am sick and tired of any different cultures in Australia crying that they are not the same as any other race in this country. NO ONE should be exempt just for their colour of their skin. Get a job and get an education! That is how you get on in life and pay all the dam taxes like anyone else!!!

Why should everyone else pay for them?

[fionaforward]

These people cannot be bothered to send their children to school!They do not work but want what hard working, educated people have worked for.

Now we know what would have happened if the Voice had of won last year! Thank God for the 60% of the smart, forward-thinking Australians that voted No. I say, your welcome to the 40% of the ignorant individuals that voted Yes!

Aboriginals didn't live in houses when this country was settled. That was something civilisation brought here. So why the hell should they be exempt from something we GAVE THEM.

[alanrainey]

I dont care if theyre indigenous, or not. They are australians, treat them as such. Not as some elite group.

[BrandOdyssey]

Great family story Warren. Why don’t we hear these stories more? It’s inspirational.

[Aileen-nu]

God bless Mr Mundine.
For his true telling. Listening to his familys story with tears in my eyes❤. Good luck to you Sir .

[Margaretsanger]

White Australia should be included in this? Why are we any different.

[AlonsoRules]

Just remember that Victoria has nearly 200 billion of debt

[fionaforward]

I am outraged.Time for aboriginals to stand up and be accountable for themselves.I agree with tony Abbot.If they choose to live in remote communities, so be it, but do not expect everyone else to support your choice.They get more opportunities than white Australians.This is wrong.

[rosshitchen-ijen]

Plenty of hard working tax paying home owning Aboriginals. Australia offers plenty for those who are willing to have a go.

[tonypucheta]

So I'm working to pay for aborigines? That's so unfair

[janicerook]

More division! How many more excuses and dodgy deals will be paraded just prove how racist "aunty" is🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[pookeyhutchison]

Warren Mundine a true gentleman and a logical thinker.

[howlermonkey]

Why a treaty, have to have a war first, im sick of the Aboriginal Industry.
