Daoud intends to use the opportunity to grill the prime minister over Labor’s highly controversial changes to capital gains tax (CGT) and negative gearing.
“When we’re on the court, there’s no staffers, there’s no backbench. There’s no media publicists or PR person to guide the prime minister on what to say,” Daoud told MPA. “Just him, me, a couple tennis rackets and a ball. So I’m able to ask him every single question with his blood pressure raised and running all over the court.”
He’s hoping to get some clear answers on how Albanese expects his budget to help first home buyers. “As an individual who has been working with first home buyers for the last eight years, including my time in Macquarie Bank, I’m of the genuine consensus that this does not help first home buyers,” said Daoud.
The stunt even made its way to parliament this week, when Liberal MP Ben Small asked Albanese if he intends to tell “Aussie legend” Daoud “why his word on negative gearing and capital gains taxes was broken”.
