SA has also make some changes effective 1 July – http://www.revenuesa.sa.gov.au/circulars/c255.html
However, Bob Carr decides to buck the trend and introduce stamp duty for refinances for loans > $1m. The States had to eliminate stamp duty because of the new GST revenue. NSW seems to be the only one dragging the chain!

That makes it hard for us NSWers! we have this stamp duty and the Vendor Tax. No wonder not many people are investing in NSW.

Oh no with that news we are about to get invaded again with an influx of Southern migrants.
I can see them queuing now at Cooloogatta to lodge their visa applications.

I think some serious stamp duty changes will occur very quickly when the Libs take the Senate. Howard hates it!!!
