A mortgage broker who paid thousands for anti-Anthony Albanese billboards in Canberra has dropped another $16,500 to win a private tennis match with the prime minister.

Simple Finance founder Joseph Daoud successfully bid to play Albanese at The Lodge in the Midwinter Ball Charity Auction that closed on Wednesday night.

Albanese, along with other politicians, auctioned off their time to raise money for charity as part of the annual event run by the federal parliamentary press gallery.

In a video posted to social media, Daoud said he would use the game to raise concerns about the changes to the capital gearing tax and negative gearing.

“Unfortunately, over the last seven weeks, we’ve had a lot of concerns about this budget, and we feel like they’ve gone unheard,” he said.

“I just spent $16,500 of my own hard-earned money to make sure yours can be heard.

“Anthony, it’s going to be me, you, tennis court, couple rackets, and a ball.”

Daoud is a vocal opponent of the prime minister’s tax reform and has spent $17,500 on 18 billboards at Canberra Airport to protest what he claimed would be the effects on small businesses.

These protest signs were plastered with the slogan: “Stop the ambition tax.”

Albanese introduced carve-outs for small businesses and start-ups in the tax bill after he faced weeks of criticism from the sector.

The tax bill – inclusive of those carve-outs – became law last week after the federal government won support from the Greens to pass the changes through the parliament.

Albanese told Today last week that some of the “nonsense that is out there will dissipate” now that the legislation is through.

Daoud will bring his concerns and four guests with him to his tennis match with Albanese.

Opposition Leader Angus Taylor and Deputy Leader Jane Hume also auctioned off a wine and dine night, won by an anonymous bidder for $5000.
