Queensland’s new land tax a ‘renters’ tax’

Adoni Media’s Leisa Goddard says Queensland’s new land tax law is “as popular with the interstate investors” as it with those who are already feeling the strain of the housing crisis. The Courier Mail newspaper is reporting Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s new land tax is the main reason investors are looking to offload Queensland properties – and claim it will lead to higher rents. “If you’re listening to the housing groups, they’re calling this a renters’ tax,” she told Sky News Australia.
