Larissa Waters on the Greens’ CGT and negative gearing deal with Labor
About this episode
Larissa Waters discusses the Greens' deal with Labor on capital gains tax and negative gearing reforms.
This week, Labor secured a deal with the Greens to pass its reforms to the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing. The Greens were unable to negotiate a more ambitious proposal to remove grandfathering or cap the number of negatively geared properties, but the party’s leader, Larissa Waters, says that the agreement was the best that they could do. The Queensland senator speaks to the political editor, Tom McIlroy, about why the Greens will vote against the government’s cuts to NDIS spending, and what her party is doing to stem the rising tide of support for One Nation
