The current $600,000 threshold, the highest of any state, will be maintained, with the tax payable at the threshold to be reduced from $1,200 to $500.

The new land tax schedule for companies, trustees and absentees will result in approximately 17,500 companies, trustees and absentees with taxable land holdings valued at up to $750,000 (after averaging and capping) being better off as a result of the change.

* extending the transfer duty home concession to retirement village residents who adopt lease and sub-lease occupancy arrangements
* providing a land tax exemption for aged care facilities, operating under the Commonwealth’s Aged Care Act (1997). This exemption will complement the existing exemption for retirement villages

Real Estate Property as New Breath into this Blogger blog

Welcome to a new month and a new Australian Financial year! Wishing you many happy returns from the Australian Tax Office (ATO) to you!

Thanks to organisations such as the ATO/IRS, life costs more and fuel prices are globally out of control! Fuel prices have doubled since I began this blog years ago in the anticipation and offering to travel Australia and capture it's beauty in 360 degree virtual Internet tours of awesomeness. Me and a mate travelling this great southern land or I was to find a place to call home and settle. Which is the option that has transpired over the past few years. A mate has shared the journey here for a couple of those years, but now it has evolved into just me and his dog, Rocky. How long Rocky will be mine to care for is unknown, as is my financial year ahead. I like the unknown, because until you venture into it, it will remain unknown. As for the years past 2012, they like my past 33 years are in God's Hands, well more like through God's faith using my hands, my future is ours. I can not see anything else in my future except blogging and creating daily live video, instead of from across Australia, it is from Freedom Farm and Elston Studios of Glasshouse Mountains, where I now call home. This Spring (September 1st) will be the start of my fourth year and by that time, I hope I don't even need to think about finances, like I trust God to keep me breathing, I trust he will be my finances and my new economy, which he is already. That will mean that over the next couple of months, his miracles will be seen now also via this blog too - woo hoo! He gets everything before I die. All the Glory anyway because without him and his Son, I'd no longer exist already.

I do exist, and I exist today better than I have ever existed, because his freedom that set me free so long ago is also the ability to do something or nothing. For too long, this blog has been doing Nothing. Time for Exercise, Spice and Life! Inspired Life! Life of health and happiness which can only be described in one word. Gayness! Keep your mind above your pants before your judgments. Gay used to mean something happy, jubilant, joyous. Living on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland Australia can also create a happier, more jubilant and yes more joyous Gay life! We have it all, seek and you SHALL find... Find it downunder. A word of warning though, Your life may be extended longer, Women officially (Au B of Stats) live longer on the Sunshine Coast than any other Australian city reaching on average 83.9 years! It could be our mountain and ocean mix of fresh air, relaxed lifestyle and community that creates happiness to live and love, a true Gay Society!
Men and Women of the World, It's time to prove the world wrong, it is time to prove Gay and Love creates community for all. One World Of Peace. I do not know a time when Gay Communities fought over ground with weapons, hands or fists. Love Conquers all. I do know in many, many countries groups of Men that stood up for their expression of Freedom and Said, This is Who I Am. Love Me. I Love You, hear me. And walked(and danced) in Joy and Jubilation down city streets, in Peace. With or without the full community peace can prevail with acceptance, equality and forgiveness of all, in a perfect world - His Kingdom Come. It is time for me to share a safe Australian place, where acceptance is normal. Race, Colour, Past Sins. Equality. For Sale, For Rent and Future investment property growth, Land - House - Unit/Condo, see it all and more at the Gay Capital of Earth and at Gay Capital of Australia, both .com's and both also created by me, Christian Curtis, Licensed Real Estate agent in Queensland Australia, via the Real Estate Institute of Queensland and Department of Fair Trading.

Each Monday and Friday at 2pm (local AU EST) I, Farmer Christian Curtis presents the Sunshine Coast City Real Estate and Property Show live from Glass House Mountains of the Sunshine Coast. Previous episodes are available directly from Broadcast Headquarters, justin.tv/odcc. Automatic Live streaming available from GayCapitalofEarth.com and GayCapitalofAustralia.com and both have interactive Live Chat directly below the video stream.

I look forward to sharing my world in 360 and I endeavour to help you create a better world too, for you.

Our Carbon offset and farming purpose

Fuel prices have not yet dropped and my burning desire to get outback and travel still burns. Life has slowly directed my life to see new purpose and reason for going outback. Still I want to camp under the billion visible stars. Now with Farmer Christian's (that's me) onedollarcarboncredits.com | Global Carbon Trading website, the reason is to purchase and maintain outback Conservation Properties. Our travels between here in the Glass House Mountains and outback will be covered here in video, photo and text stories. I'm still looking for the second person to join this adventure, however, nolonger am I waiting around, I am strong to go alone, or cross that bridge when I get there. Here's more about our future projects that have been running for two years in the background.



For every block of carbon offsets you buy you will be helping Australian native wildlife through reforestation and avoided deforestation projects, that is, creating new, AND saving old habitats.

When we fly, drive or put on the air conditioner for example we produce harmful greenhouse gas emissions in the form of CO2. Offsetting simply means that you pay for your emissions to be neutralised elsewhere, do unto the Earth as you would like the Earth to do unto you, that came before treating other people as you expect to be treated.

By planting trees CO2 released by you into the atmosphere can be harnessed, through the natural process of photosynthesis (carbon sequestration). And by saving trees carbon sequestration just carries on! Year in and year out, the natural process of the natural Elements will balance and restore Earths beauty and health, one day and one year at a time. My vision is my grand children will one day visit 200 year old trees, reserved, for their children see the trees age to 300. If we are going to dream positive, dream big positive together.

As our projects become funded by you, we want to take you on our conservation journey in video, photos and interactive internet TV broadcasting. We are a young enterprise, setting sail on this epic adventure at the right time, in an open and transparent example of Carbon Offset Farming. Please plant your seed by uploading your image and link from our Get Credits page. Then bookmark us, rss subscribe to this blog, settle back and enjoy watching your offset come to life and grow.

Still looking for travel Partner

Hello again world!
I'm settled now on Freedom Farm in the Glass House Mountains and still the burning desire to travel is inside my heart. It has been frustrating that the person I live with isn't as keen to create the opportunity to travel this great land as I am. However this could be turning out to be a blessing in disguise, as he would make for good security here at home while away traveling. So the call goes out again to the world, if you are ready and wanting to travel Australia with an Australian guide and are prepared to share our experiences online then get in contact with me today. Lets open and start dialog to make this journey reality.

Creating interest while finding myself

Eight months have past since my last post yet the desire to someday travel Australia sharing it online still burns deep inside however I'm not in such a rush any more, I'm very happy with the decision made a year ago to establish some roots and firstly create a place called home. Home is the place that while having a bad day traveling can brighten your day with the visualization of happy memories and a comfortable bed, at home. Home for me is perfect, it satisfies my desire to go camping regularly and has also filled my days with things that need to be done. At first it was overwhelming and finding a starting place doing something totally new to me was very daunting until I was rescued by Michael, someone who has the desire for gardening and skills to create a comfortable home. Since the late 1990s I had been planting seeds in my mind of what I wanted to achieve from my home, not only did it need to provide shelter I wanted the opportunity to turn it into income producing or better primary food producing to help my issues about eating and also to contribute to either community or family with the excess surplus of vegetables or fruits. At first I looked at land in North Queensland with much cleared area to re vegetate, reforest and toil large plots for growing. At the same time I was happy to find a house or shed that needed to be renovated, now looking back in hindsight that would of been a life times work! A lifetime I'd rather spend closer to family and established population areas like Brisbane and Gold Coast. I've been a little spoilt by the added bonuses that I had not considered when finding property that I have found here, not only is the area critical to the establishment of Australia but also has remnant bush rock that formed millions of years ago by active volcanoes which only the cores remain today. These local monoliths were named 'Glass House Mountains' by Captain James Cook in his discovery of Australia in the late 1700s. Being surrounded by National Heritage listed National Parks provides the opportunity to plant flowering native trees to feed visiting bird-life on their migratory travels each year. These trees and new gardens have been rejuvenated from the overgrowth and weed infestation that covered most of my two acres revealing an immense amount of time and energy previously gone into the foundations of the property by establishing terraced gardens including irrigation and just enough cleared land for the main house to be constructed later in time. This cleared land spot once had an old home there sadly destroyed by bush-fire in 1994 with only the concrete water-tank remaining. The house I call home is a converted shed built after the fire, lower down hill on the property, however once inside its more spacious than some city units I have lived in and without doubt it's furnished outstandingly providing the city comfort feel we are both accustomed to, again thanks to a friend like Michael, it has become better than I thought possible. Not only have we created a home, we discovered new pleasure in the gardens now planted and only this Autumn I planted pumpkin, watermelon, strawberries and lettuce. A couple of our native trees will fruit with time that we can spend traveling!

As my lifetime goal is to become self sufficient financially via internet sites, I have created freedom4life.com/freedomfarm to log the journey of dreaming, being and sharing achievements connected to Freedom Farm. After this blog entry and maybe lunch I am going to start another sub-site focused on Bromeliads of Freedom Farm. A surprisingly fascinating prehistoric plant that constantly evolves providing splendid foliage and extraordinary flowers which only the Pineapple is a fruit but still within the Bromeliad family. Our gardens had some original 'Broms' that we have split and transplanted around various gardens that have become quite full from new Broms we have either purchased or had given to us. My guess is we'd have over 30 types at this stage and will take much time to number, catalogue and photograph to form an online virtual garden I'd like to create. My Yahoo 360 blog also has photographs of the process to date. I will keep this journal for travels, so for progress of home, farm and garden watch my Yahoo 360.

Until my travels are financed, good health and wealth to you :)

Regards,
Christian
