公約から否決まで
数字は縮小し、そして決着した
数字を見ると、公約は次第に縮小していった。2024年には年間約$11 millionとされていたが、修正後、財務省の見積もりは約$7.3 millionから$8 millionに下がった。1213 政府は、その80%から83%が州外および海外からの訪問者によるものとなり、全額をタスマニア住民の初回住宅購入支援に充てると約束していた。12 一方、すでに計上されていた免税措置の費用は約$40 millionだった。218 当初の2年間の試算では、免税措置の総額は$64.3 millionで、賦課金によって約$44 millionを補い、純費用は$20 million強となる見込みだった。4547 いずれにせよ、賦課金による徴収額はゼロだった。23
この賦課金の83%は海外および州外からの旅行者が負担し、徴収額の100%をタスマニア住民の初回住宅購入支援に充てる。
この発言が、法案が否決された理由を物語っている。反対派は、この賦課金を経済分析の裏付けがない、筋の通らない実行困難な観光税だと批判した。24 彼らは、訪問者が負担する80-83%という割合は政府の分析ではなく、業界発の主張に基づくこと、初回住宅購入者向けに資金を確保する法律上の規定がないこと、訪問者への少額課金では賃貸住宅の供給も住宅危機の緩和も実現しないことを指摘した。46 労働党は上下両院で反対票を投じ、立法評議会では、ローズマリー・アーミテージ(ローンセストン選挙区)、マイク・ガフニー(マーシー選挙区)、ケイシー・ヒスカット(モンゴメリー選挙区)、メグ・ウェッブ(ネルソン選挙区)、ルース・フォレスト(マーチソン選挙区)の各無所属議員も反対した。211 緑の党のキャシー・オコナー州上院議員は、住宅への効果には疑問を示しながらも、歳入策として賛成票を投じた。6
不明な点
- 免税措置を復活させる、または賦課金収入に代わる財源を確保する、確認済みの計画はない。
今後の展開
- 購入可能な住宅が6%の市場で、政府が供給側または需要側の新たな支援策を打ち出すかどうか。

放送時の内容
- Tasmania's visitor levy is dead — killed in the upper house on a six-to-six tie. The first-home buyer benefit it was supposed to fund had already lapsed two and a half months earlier. So with both now gone, what replaces the help Tasmanians have already lost?
- The bill is the Short Stay Levy Bill 2026. It died when the Legislative Council split six to six, and the chamber's President, Labor MLC Craig Farrell of Derwent, cast the deciding vote against it. It had cleared the lower house comfortably — twenty-two votes to nine, back in May.
- The levy was a 2024 Liberal promise — a five per cent charge on short-stay bookings to help pay for zero stamp duty for first-home buyers of established homes worth up to 750,000 dollars. The exemption ran from February 2024 to the end of June this year. The bill cleared the lower house in May; the upper house killed it in September — ten weeks after the exemption it was meant to fund had already lapsed.
- The levy itself was narrowly drawn. It would have added five per cent to the total booking fee for short-stay accommodation — stays under 28 days booked through platforms like Airbnb and Stayz. Hotels, motels, bed-and-breakfasts and caravan parks were excluded, and after consultation, so were owner-occupied spare-room listings. It was due to start on 1 July 2027.
- That was the promise in black and white: four-fifths of the cost carried by travellers, every dollar of the levy pledged to first-home buyers.
- On the numbers, the promise kept slipping. Pitched in 2024 at about eleven million dollars a year, the levy's own Treasury estimate fell to roughly seven-point-three to eight million after amendments. The government said eighty to eighty-three per cent of that would come from interstate and international visitors.
- On one side, roughly eight million a year in revenue. On the other, the cost already on the books. The exemptions have cost about forty million dollars. The original 2024 costing put the two-year exemption at sixty-four-point-three million, with the levy expected to offset about forty-four million — leaving a net cost of just over twenty million. Either way, the levy never collected a dollar, and the bill it was meant to pay is already paid.
- That's the contradiction at the heart of the defeat. Labor opposed the levy as a confused, unworkable tourism tax. Opponents in the chamber argued there was no economic modelling, that the bulk of the revenue would come from a share estimate sourced from industry rather than government analysis, that no law guaranteed the money would reach first-home buyers — and that a small charge on visitors would do nothing to add rental supply or ease the housing crisis.
- After the vote, Treasurer Eric Abetz publicly blamed Labor; the Premier's government pointed to the housing revenue the levy would have reinvested. On the floor, it was the chamber's own President who broke the tie — against the bill.
- But here's the sharper problem. The benefit the levy was meant to preserve is already gone. The stamp duty exemption lapsed on 30 June and was not extended in the 2026-27 Budget. From 1 July, first-home buyers of established homes pay the full transfer duty again. The only relief the Budget kept was the First Home Owner Grant — twenty thousand dollars for new builds this year, down from a thirty-thousand-dollar temporary boost.
- And the timing is what makes the loss sting. This month, only about six per cent of homes on the market were within reach of an average Tasmanian earner — a figure economists tied to a shortage of supply, not a lack of demand-side help.
- So the question the defeat leaves open: what replaces either? The government has announced no replacement revenue measure, and no restoration of the expired exemption. No alternative funding plan for reviving the 750,000-dollar threshold has been published since the vote. First-home buyers are back on full transfer duty — and with six per cent of homes within reach, economists say the real fix is supply, not another levy.
