Queensland's Opposition Leader David Crisafulli has delivered his budget reply, vowing to axe stamp duty for some first homebuyers should the LNP come into office.
Queensland LNP leader David Crisafulli unveils plan to axe stamp duty for home buyers building first property in stinging budget reply speech
Mr Crisafulli responded to the budget on Thursday, proposing a series of bold policies in a bid to boost homeownership including a plan to scrap stamp duty for homebuyers building their first property. "The government’s slogan for this budget is 'Doing what matters', yet they are now telling Queenslanders what they have done in the past no longer matters," Mr Crisafulli said.
"It’s bold, it’s big picture, but most importantly it’s a detailed plan that clearly outlines how we will achieve our targets and get more Queenslanders into more homes," he told parliament. Mr Crisafulli said the LNP will commit to Labor's updated stamp duty concession, which has a threshold of $700,000, for first homebuyers purchasing existing houses.
