    Just a heads up (don't know if its been posted before), that the QLD government is instigating an absentee land tax - its going to effect almost everyone living / working outside of Australia...

    Absentee land tax surcharge takes effect

    I think they should be targeting non-residents, not residents working overseas....

    There was another thread of this recently, where I suggested people just try to make sure you don't meet the definition of 'absentee'.
