Under the proposed changes, interstate property holdings would have been taken into account when determining whether an investor meets the threshold for land tax concessions. The Courier Mail reported that the Queensland premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, made the decision on Thursday night after speaking to interstate leaders who have heavily opposed the proposal. It comes after a dogged campaign by the real estate industry that included what experts have described as “baseless” claims that rents would rise in Queensland due to the changes. |
