  Fujitsu helps Land Victoria to end the paper chase : FUJITSU New Zealand
Land titles are some of the oldest legal documents in current use, and retrieving them often a matter of sending archivists into dusty shelving stacks to physically pull them out.
Land Victoria wanted to overhaul its titles registry so that property ownership could be checked electronically, with a longer term goal of allowing land titles to change hands over the Internet.
And Land Victoria will be able to offer different levels of access to different groups, such as its own employees, those of other government departments and the general public, altering the presentation of the data as often as it wishes from the core database.

 Soaring land tax costs jobs, investment - National - www.theage.com.au
Victoria's contentious land tax is forcing businesses to close, with the loss of jobs, higher rents for caravan park residents and millions of investment dollars leaving the state.
Despite changes to land tax announced by Treasurer John Brumby, including a progressive lowering of the top tax rate from 5 per cent to 3.5 per cent by 2007, Victoria's land tax continues to indiscriminately hit rich and poor alike.
Land tax has become inflated because it is levelled on the potential value of land, rather than its existing use.

While the primary focus of the vision is on land parcel data, the vision recognises that to be useful and effective, land parcel data needs to be integrated with or utilise other appropriate components of the State's digital map base (SDMB), and particularly the topographic data.
While the legal land parcel would be the key spatial unit there would be numerous divisions and aggregations of this unit to accommodate a variety of interests, land uses, rights and restrictions in land.
The cadastre and land information will be based on a spatial data engine which is a distributed model such that various custodians of GIS data sets participate within the one model but have control over their own components.

 Bracks may ease Victoria's crippling land tax - National - www.theage.com.au
The State Government has indicated the possible easing of Victoria's controversial land tax regime, as a popular Melbourne pub and its 15 staff became the latest casualties of soaring tax and yesterday announced plans to close down.
Premier Steve Bracks conceded that increasing property values had made it difficult for some land owners but he said anyone who thought the tax scales were set in concrete was mistaken.
Premier Steve Bracks said the Government had made Victoria's land tax regime fairer by lowering the threshold at the top of the scale from 5 to 3 per cent over the next four years, and increasing the tax-free threshold so that the tax kicks in on properties worth $175,000, up from $150,000.

 Winning the Victoria Cross - Land & Sea Tales - For Scouts and Guides - Rudyard Kipling, Book, etext
But there is a heroism beyond all, for which no Victoria Cross is ever given, because there is no official enemy nor any sort of firing, except one volley in the early morning at some spot where the noise does not echo into the newspapers.
They tell a tale of one man who, some years ago, strayed into No Man’s Land to see how things were, and met a very amiable set of people, who asked him to a round of dinners and lunches and dances.
For this reason the Victoria Cross is jealously guarded, and if there be suspicion that the man is playing to the gallery or out pot-hunting for medals, as they call it, he is often left to head his charges and rescue his wounded all over again as a guarantee of good faith.
