I was of the understanding that unless you are a permanent resident you are not entitled to the first time home owners grant. Also nobody is excempt from paying stamp duty in Queenslands!

Yeah i agree, can't get 1st time buyers grant unless on Perm. Visa. And again no one exempt in Qld, but you can get it back in cash and that can pay your stamp duty .
