澳洲联邦政府仍然立场坚定，认为有关外商投资房地产的新法规将能够减少哄抬房价的非法投资，尽管有方案称可以帮助国外买家回避这些规则。

根据《澳洲金融评论报》，传说中的新方案包含了澳洲投资和移民服务。一个由律师Dominique Grubisa设立的网站声称，允许外国投资者“在澳洲不受限地买房”。

该网站显示，“这是一个法律结构，能使您在不触犯《外国投资和收购法》的前提下，合法在澳洲购买任何房产。”

《澳洲金融评论报》解释说，该结构包括建立一个符合澳大利亚法律的买入实体。然后，该实体可以利用境外投资者的资金购买房产，而这些境外投资者就成了产权证的有担保债权人。

不过，自由党国会议员Kelly O'Dwyer对《澳洲金融评论报》说，那些声称可以绕开新法规的公司“根本就没有说实话”。Kelly O'Dwyer是澳洲房价调查委员会的主管议员。

“我不知道这项提议的细节，但一般来说，如果有方案表明能帮助外国人规避澳洲法律在此买房，我会建议买家谨慎行事。” Kelly O'Dwyer说。

Foreign investors warned not to flout investment rules

The federal government remains steadfast that new rules governing foreign investment in Australian real estate will curtail illegal investment which is driving up house prices, despite new schemes saying they can help foreign buyers sidestep the rules.

According to the Australian Financial Review, The Australian Investments and Migration Service is one of these new schemes. Set up by lawyer Dominique Grubisa, its website claims to allow foreign investors to purchase “unlimited properties within the Australian market”.

“This is a legal structure that enables you to legally buy any property in Australia so as not to breach the Foreign Investments and Takeovers Act,” the website reads.

The structure involves establishing a buying entity which complies with Australian law. That entity then buys a property using funds from the offshore investor, who becomes a secured creditor on the property title, the AFR explains. 

However, Liberal MP Kelly O'Dwyer, who headed a parliamentary inquiry into foreign investment in residential real estate, has told the AFR that companies that claim they can skirt the rules are “simply not telling the truth.”

“I am not aware of the specifics of this particular proposal but, as a general rule, if any scheme suggests it can circumvent Australian law on property purchases by foreign nationals, I would advise people to exercise extreme caution,” O'Dwyer said.
