Albanese on three-state blitz to tout budget tax changes
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, is speaking on Triple M Hobart this morning about the budget plans, continuing the campaign to tout the latest federal budget. He’s stressing once more that changes to the capital gains tax discount and negative gearing are a recalibration of fairness in the housing system.

Albanese is on a three-state blitz today – breakfast in Hobart, lunch in Adelaide and dinner in Perth.
