Government defends tax reforms amid growing criticism

Education Minister Jason Clare defends the federal government's proposed tax reforms aimed at reducing income tax and improving housing affordability for young Australians. The government has signed agreements with all states and territories to provide an additional $20 billion in funding for public schools over the next decade, tied to reforms including catch-up tutoring programs. The tax changes face criticism from the Business Council of Australia, Labor premiers including WA's Roger Cook and NSW's Chris Minns, and small business owners concerned about the $2 million threshold and capital gains implications.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
