Albanese on three-state blitz to tout budget tax changes
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is speaking on Triple M Hobart this morning about the budget plans, continuing the campaign to tout the latest federal budget. He’s stressing once more that changes to the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing are a recalibration of fairness in the housing system.
He said:
double quotation markFirst home buyers who rock up to an auction, and they’re competing against an investor, the investor has the taxpayer by their side.
If they [the investor] have to choose, and they get down to the business end … they’re in a stronger position, because the taxpayer, [if they have to pay more], they have increased tax deductions … now that’s not fair.
Albanese is on a three-state blitz today, breakfast in Hobart, lunch in Adelaide and dinner in Perth.
Good morning, and happy Monday. Nick Visser here to get the blog started. Here’s what’s on deck:
New South Wales police have charged nearly 1,000 people with more than 2,000 charges in total as part of a statewide operation targeting offenders with a history of domestic violence. Officials said the effort was meant to ensure the safety and wellbeing of domestic and family violence victims.
Meanwhile concert pianist Jayson Gillham’s discrimination case against the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will begin today. He is suing the orchestra over the termination of his contract, which was ended after he performed a piece in 2024 dedicated to journalists killed in Gaza.
