The Federal Government says the first bill in its tax reform package has passed Parliament, locking in income tax cuts, first home buyer measures and changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax. Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the bill includes the Working Australians Tax Offset and instant tax deduction for workers, with the average worker to benefit by up to $2,816 a year from 2028. From 1 July 2027, future negative gearing will apply only to new builds, with grandfathering for existing investment properties. Capital gains tax changes will also apply from that date, alongside an increased active asset CGT concession threshold for small businesses.

Anti-corruption barrister Geoffrey Watson, Member for Wentworth Allegra Spender, Member for Curtin Kate Chaney, Member for Indi Helen Haines, Shadow Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations Jane Hume and Business Council of Australia (BCA) Chief Executive Bran Black warned the Federal Government’s union procurement bill could raise costs and corruption risks. The bill would let the Federal Government favour businesses with union-backed enterprise agreements for contracts, grants and taxpayer-funded opportunities. Critics said public money should be awarded on merit, value and capability, not union agreement status, and argued the bill was being rushed with little scrutiny.

The NSW Opposition announced a payroll tax reform plan for small and medium businesses. Leader of the Opposition Kellie Sloane, Leader of the Nationals Gurmesh Singh and Shadow Treasurer Scott Farlow said the proposal would raise the payroll tax threshold from $1.2 million to $1.5 million, reduce the rate from 5.45 per cent to 4.75 per cent for businesses with total Australian payrolls below $10 million, and index thresholds to CPI. The Opposition said the changes would remove about 4,000 businesses from payroll tax and reduce liabilities for about 25,000 others, with further measures on business support, energy supply and industry strategy.

The Queensland State Government introduced legislation to make permanent 50 cent public transport fares a statutory requirement. Minister for Transport and Main Roads Brent Mickelberg said the Bill is intended to prevent a future government from reversing the policy. The release states the measure responds to an Opposition private member’s bill that the Department of Transport and Main Roads considered could remove the fare setting from train, light rail, CityCat and ferry services while retaining it for buses. The announcement is framed around fare certainty across Queensland’s public transport network.

The Victorian State Government will take over and fast-track four Precinct Structure Plans in Geelong’s north and west, covering Batesford North, McCanns Lane/Merrawarp Road, Batesford South and Heales Road East. Premier Jacinta Allan, Minister for Planning Sonya Kilkenny, Minister for Housing and Building Nick Staikos, Member for Geelong Christine Couzens and Member for Lara Ella George said the precincts could unlock more than 23,000 homes for more than 66,000 people. The government will also develop contributions plans for roads, transport, parks and community facilities, and is trialling two 3D-printed social homes in Geelong.
