No Land Tax Campaign
The No Land Tax Campaign was a minor Australian political party formed prior to the 2015 New South Wales state election. It was formed in opposition to the levying of land tax, which in New South Wales applies to investment properties and holiday homes.[1][2][3]
In 2015, it is alleged that Peter Jones, Secretary of the No Land Tax Campaign Pty 'employed' 3600 workers with an offering of $30/hour to hand out flyers and approach voters. Mr Jones then informed workers there would be delays on their pay as he had to wait to see if he obtained enough votes for seats, and if they were to get bonuses. After several weeks, Mr Jones emailed workers stating there was issues with the pay slips, and pays would be processed.
Eventually Mr Jones went on radio with Ray Hadley in regard to the pay disputes.
Currently in 2016, no workers have received pay from Mr Jones or the No Land Tax Campaign, their website is now offline and no longer comes up, and Fair work is taking Mr Jones to court on behalf of the workers.
