Senate inquiry into controversial tax changes sparks political showdown

The Australian federal government is conducting a brief two-day Senate inquiry into controversial tax changes affecting businesses, particularly capital gains tax reforms announced in the recent budget. Business groups are criticising Labor for rushing through what they call the biggest tax system changes in 25 years, whilst the Coalition threatens to withhold support for NDIS reforms as leverage. The government defends the changes as necessary to address housing affordability and level the playing field between first-home buyers and property investors.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
