AAP’s Callum Godde reports: Australia’s only Liberal government has swung a housing pitch at young voters, promising a user tax on short-stay rentals such as Airbnbs to slash stamp duty for first-home buyers. Tasmanian premier Jeremy Rockliff says stamp duty for homes worth up to $750,000 bought by first-time buyers will be completely waived if the Liberals are re-elected on 23 March.
The plan would double the state’s existing stamp duty discount of 50% and lift the value cap from $600,000, saving an extra 1,500 prospective buyers up to $28,935. Rockliff told reporters in Franklin on Sunday: I want young Tasmanians to have that dream, that aspiration of owning their own home. I recognise that for now it’s out of reach for many, many young Tasmanians. The policy would apply to existing houses, units and apartments and run for two years until mid-2026.
