Description
The Budget pearl-clutchers had a pearler this week.
Michael West looks at the budget backlash over negative gearing and capital gains tax, the Liberal Party’s latest by-election disaster, Angus Taylor’s numbers problem, the government burying its response to gambling ads reform on Budget Day, and the biggest winner from Budget by far ... a foreign lobby group.
