00:00 Lovely to have you in Ballarat.
00:05 Out of Canberra but unable to escape questions on tax.
00:09 What we're doing is putting in place a tax cut for every Australian worker.
00:15 The government continuing to defend its changes to the stage 3 tax cuts as the coalition
00:20 Angus Taylor, welcome to the program.
00:22 shifts gears.
00:23 We won't support changes to negative gearing.
00:25 That's their intent.
00:26 We know they're considering this.
00:28 Their answers in the parliament on this week were very wishy-washy.
00:32 That's not something that we're proposing, not something that we are considering, not
00:36 something that we are working up.
00:39 Negative gearing allows landlords who lose money by paying out more in interest and maintenance
00:44 than they're receiving in rent to offset that loss and reduce the tax they pay.
00:49 Now is the time for reform on negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount because
00:55 we are in a housing crisis.
00:58 It's not just tax but the right to disconnect that will continue to be a talking point in
01:03 parliament this week.
01:05 The opposition says if it wins the next election it will repeal legislation that passed the
01:09 Senate just days ago giving workers the right to ignore calls and emails when they're not
01:15 on the clock without being penalised.
