To the Honourable Speaker and members of Parliament of the House of Representatives assembled in Parliament.

We the undersigned request that Parliament take urgent steps to ease the unacceptable burden victimisation of the 10% GST being placed upon permanent residents who rent accommodation in mobile home parks such as Parklea Gardens in NSW.

Members of Parliament should understand that many of the permanent residents are pensioner couples and pensioner singles and/or war widows who are living in such residences for security and economical reasons. The 10% GST impost will cause even greater stress upon such Australians who should not be stressed at their time of life and it should not be continued.

Your petitioners request that the House of Representatives do everything in their power to ensure the unfair 10% GST is lifted from the permanent residents of mobile home villages.

by Mr Mossfield (from 137 citizens).
