The Queensland government says it already has the landholder data required to close land tax loopholes used by multi-state investors, in response to threats by the New South Wales premier to block the release of information.

On Monday the state’s treasurer, Cameron Dick, said the government had no intention to back down on the new measures, which were legislated months ago.
