In a chat with Andrew Barr, the Chief Minister says the thing he’s most proud of in this year’s budget is the next step in abolishing stamp duty, saying “it’s been a long journey back to 2012.” He says stamp duty is now gone for first-home buyers, pensioners, people accessing the ACT’s disability duty scheme, and some new housing types, including off-the-plan and turnkey homes.

The conversation also touches on where the budget could face criticism, with Andrew Barr acknowledging “no one budget can do everything” and pointing to debate around infrastructure spending, including comparisons between a new stadium and a Northside hospital.
