Greens criticize Labor's property tax concessions and demand data centre policy review
What happened
The Victorian Greens criticized the Carroll Labor Government's recent tax concessions aimed at property developers. These changes exempt eligible developers from the Absentee Owner Surcharge during construction, with some projects receiving further exemptions after completion. The Greens also demanded that Labor rule out extending these tax breaks to data centre developments.

Why it matters
The criticism centers on the government providing tax relief to big business while addressing housing affordability. The Greens argue that public money should be used to build public housing rather than providing tax breaks to private property investors.
Political figures are criticizing Labor's tax legislation, and the Greens have expressed skepticism regarding tax carve-outs in the Senate.
