This is similar to what had occurred to me - this woman has been left stranded in Thailand after falling ill and unable to return to her country due to a 'not fit to fly' certification.
If she was an owner of a Queensland property then she could be facing an absentee surcharge and Land tax. As I was informed by Queensland Office of State Revenue, there is no exemption for medical conditions.

The 2017 Labor Government Budget introduced changes to the Land Tax Act that causes nearly all Australian citizens owning property in Queensland, who are overseas for 6 months or more in a financial year, to be subjected to a combined Land Tax (at a reduced threshold) as well as an Absentee Surcharge at 1.5% of the value of your land. Prisoners of the State.
