Good afternoon.The Greens will support the Albanese government’s negative gearing and capital gains tax changes under a deal that will delay and tweak Labor’s planned overhaul of the national disability insurance scheme.The minor party announced its position on Tuesday morning, clearing the path for Labor to pass its contentious budget centrepiece before federal parliament rises for the winter break.“Most Australians have nothing to sell but their time, nothing to give but their hard work, and that’s how they earn an income,” Anthony Albanese said.“That’s how they put food on the table, and we want those people, those hard-working Australians, to have the opportunity to own their own home.”The Greens leader, Larissa Waters, said Labor’s reforms to the tax breaks “could have been so much better” but were nevertheless a “small step in the right direction”.Top news
