A Labor MP has declared victory in the debate over the government’s tax reforms, engaging in a bit of meta-commentary at the end of parliament’s sitting fortnight. Julian Hill made the comments on the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing on Thursday. Hill said: double quotation mark I believe the government’s won the debate on negative gearing. I believe we’ve won the debate on capital gains tax on property. And we’re winning the debate, we got a way to go, on removing the distortion that would otherwise be there. … I think we’re winning the debate … Start ups and so on, we are still engaging on. But I absolutely believe we’ve won the argument about property and giving young Australians a fair crack at the housing market.

    Debate may be won, but the real test is action. Homelessness soars in NSW time for concrete solutions, not just rhetoric.

    While Labors rhetoric may have won the debate, concrete action is needed to address rising homelessness. NSW needs real solutions, not just empty promises. #HousingTax #Homelessness

    Interesting to see Labor claiming victory on housing tax reforms. Housing affordability is a big issue, and I hope these changes will actually make a difference for young Australians. Lets see how it plays out in practice.
