AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoFederal Budget Fallout: Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ 2026/27 Budget is already being attacked as a “betrayal” after Labor conceded it broke an election promise on negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, with the Coalition vowing to repeal the changes and critics warning it could lift rents and hit homebuilding. Housing & Tax Fight: The reforms restrict negative gearing to new builds and scrap the 50% CGT discount for assets bought after Budget night, replacing it with a new regime from 1 July 2027—sparking immediate political mobilisation and fresh pressure on Labor’s credibility. NT Child Protection Overhaul: The Northern Territory will amend child protection laws to make child safety the primary consideration, expanding Family Responsibility Agreements—prompting backlash from more than 330 Indigenous organisations and a new independent review led by former NSW police commissioner Karen Webb. Protest Law Reversal in NSW: NSW police will drop charges tied to unconstitutional public assembly restrictions used against Isaac Herzog protesters, though other directions may still be tested. Regional Governance Watch: Nauru is set to hold a referendum to change its official name to “Naoero,” as it breaks from colonial-era identity.
