What happened

The Albanese government delayed its ban on paying tax bills using credit cards after small businesses were given only eight hours' notice of the original ban. Shadow Treasurer Tim Wilson stated that the Prime Minister forced the Treasurer into granting a stay of execution, though he noted this was not a permanent solution. The Coalition plans to introduce legislation in parliament next week to provide relief to small businesses.
