Qld website says you have to register your car in Qld within 14 days of
"moving to Qld":

Will I get away with 6 months if I say I am on a long holiday?

No, you will be immediately arrested and imprisoned until you transfer
your rego, they may even confiscate and crush your car if you don't
comply with the rules to the letter, you have been warned.

It's a question of residency. Are you on a long holiday?

As for getting away with it, unless you drive like a maniac, you're
unlikely to be stopped, let alone questioned about your residential
status. That said, if you're living in one place, neighbours might
notice and dob you in. Then again, I knew a woman who lived in Sydney
but registered her car at her parent's place in WA, because it was
cheaper, and was never caught out as far as I know.

Is there any objection to complying with the law, apart from cost?

He would be complying with the law if he didnt change the rego
when on a holiday, stupid.

He didn't say he was on holiday, he asked what would happen if he said
he was on holiday. You really need to read what's written, not what you
think is written.

It would be a big hassle to change number plates. All the insurance etc
has the current number plate, plus my mechanic's account.

Then if I went back to the original state, I would have to change it all
back again, and I wouldn't get my old number plate back. I like my
current number plate - it is easy to remember.
