| Subject: Rights violation: Home 'owned by God' to be auctioned after owners fail to pay OZschwitz rates Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:32 pm | |
| The owners of the Melita Honey Farm in Tasmania will have their home auctioned in three weeks after failing to pay their council rates since 2010 because they believe the land is owned by God.
A letter from the owners, the Beerepoot family, to the Meander Valley council earlier this year said: "Council's world view is that the 'law of the land' governs life and thus also provides progress, growth and security. On the other hand, we believe that our Heavenly Father is Sovereign and that He reigns today, thus we worship Him and Him alone so that His will is established on the earth … you are asking us to bow down to a false god which is something we cannot do."
