About this episode
The Albanese Government is locking in a trio of tax reforms, with capital gains tax, negative gearing and the taxation of trust funds all set to feature in the budget.
PK and Raf Epstein are aligned on the need for the Government to deliver "big reform". PK says she's "troubled" by the way Labor is avoiding making the case for changes they believe in during the "bear-pit of an election" and using the changes to Stage 3 Tax Cuts as the "template" rather than an exception. Raf has other thoughts.
So, is what we want from politicians actually "radical honesty", or can they keep some ambitions in the bottom drawer?
Patricia Karvelas and Raf Epstein break it all down on Politics Now.
