The government has struck a deal with the Greens on tax reform, which includes a delay in the passage of proposed NDIS cuts. The deal is expected to pass the Senate on Thursday, but the Greens have vowed to continue to fight against the cuts. Meanwhile, the debate over multiculturalism continues, with opposition leader Angus Taylor refusing to give a straight answer on whether he supports the policy.
It's been nearly a week since Pauline Hanson's controversial press club speech, and the reverberations continue. Pauline Hanson, the leader of the One Nation party, has sparked a fresh debate over multiculturalism, a policy that has had bipartisan support for decades.
Hanson's comments have been met with criticism from opposition leader Angus Taylor, who has refused to give a straight answer on whether he supports multiculturalism. Meanwhile, the government has struck a deal with the Greens on tax reform, which includes a delay in the passage of proposed NDIS cuts. The deal is expected to pass the Senate on Thursday, but the Greens have vowed to continue to fight against the cuts.
The government has also agreed to an amendment to block self-managed super funds from borrowing to invest in residential property, a move that the Greens say will close a loophole that undermines the government's goal of giving first-home buyers an advantage over well-heeled investors. The overhaul of property taxes comes after years of debate, two federal election losses for Labor, and a six-week post-budget fight with business groups and investors.
The changes break promises taken to last year's election, but they also mark the most significant attempt to address the intergenerational housing crisis after decades of worsening affordability. The deal has been met with criticism from the opposition, who say it is a 'dangerous deal' with the Greens. The government has defended the deal, saying it is a 'small step in the right direction'.
The clash between the government and the opposition is the latest demonstration of how Pauline Hanson's comments are disrupting the political agenda
