Stamp duty abolished for all first homebuyers purchasing new SA homes

First homebuyers who purchase or build new homes won't have to pay stamp duty from Thursday under an expansion of the South Australian government's existing scheme. It's part of a pre-budget housing push, with the government also announcing just under 2,000 new dwellings will be built across Adelaide's west and south. But there's some angst from public housing tenants who've been told they'll have to move out of their homes to make way.
