Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has shelved a contentious proposal to introduce a nation-first multi-jurisdictional land tax after an apparent lack of support from her state counterparts.

The proposal would have seen Queensland charge investors land tax based on the value of all their property holdings across the country, not just within the state, which is the usual practice.
