On taxes for data centres and what dictates affordability: an edited selection of your views.
The article "What does a good data centre future look like? And how do we get there?" received a positive reception among readers. However, a concern was raised about the lack of discussion on the necessity of substantial taxes and royalties being paid by these companies. Linda Black from Ferntree Gully, VIC, expressed her worry that politicians might be "blindly – or irresponsibly – walking into another free gas debacle."
Another reader, Pamela Curr, questioned the affordability of housing. She asked whether a certain percentage of income should dictate affordability and who dictates these standards. Curr also inquired about the distinction between homes being rented or purchased and the incomes of individuals waiting for these homes. She emphasized the need for a more comprehensive conversation and understanding of the community's rights and expectations regarding a secure place to reside.
