What happened

Well supportedReported by 3 independent outlets

The Greens have expressed skepticism regarding the tax carve-outs in Labor's capital gains tax package, leading them to withhold support in the Senate. Separately, the Commonwealth Ombudsman warned the Albanese government that its plan to cut $35 billion from the National Disability Insurance scheme risks repeating past issues related to automated decision-making.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Labor's flagship tax package requires support from the crossbench, including the Greens, to pass the Senate. The NDIS bill, which enables automated administrative decision-making, also requires support from the Coalition or the Greens to pass. The legislative struggle creates uncertainty around major fiscal and social spending policies.
