The Australian Greens have agreed to support the Albanese government's proposed changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing. This agreement was reached after the government conceded to several demands regarding the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), including an eight-week extension for a Senate inquiry into the NDIS reforms and amendments to limit the minister's power to cut support categories. The Greens had previously voiced strong opposition to the NDIS cost-saving plan, calling it 'cruel' and expecting it to affect over 240,000 participants. The Coalition's support is now crucial for passing the NDIS bill, and members are raising concerns about the changes.
