Deputy Liberal leader Jane Hume has accused the government of being \u201csneaky\u201d in its passage of tax legislation, and left the door open for a deal with the Greens to extend inquiries into budget legislation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo days [of inquiry] is nothing like enough, apparently. These are generational reforms. If they\u2019re generational reforms, well, surely they should have been taken to an election, so that the Australian people could decide that\u2019s when you get the appropriate scrutiny. But they haven\u2019t been,\u201d Hume told ABC radio this morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it\u2019s up to us in the Senate to get this done. Two days simply is not enough. There is no need to rush these changes through because they don\u2019t kick in until 2028. So, if that\u2019s the case, why on earth the government is trying to hide from scrutiny is beyond me. And quite frankly, I think it demonstrates just how sneaky they\u2019ve been about these tax changes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked whether the Coalition was willing to trade a longer tax inquiry for a deeper dive into changes to the NDIS, Hume indicated a deal could be on the table.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Coalition have made it very clear that we support change to the NDIS. It\u2019s been a program that\u2019s run well out of control, and it does need integrity measures put around it to make sure that it\u2019s sustainable into the future,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, we shouldn\u2019t hide from scrutiny. I think it\u2019s well worth having a look at, if that\u2019s what the Greens would like in exchange for a longer inquiry into tax measures that they support. I think that\u2019s perfectly fair.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Deputy Liberal leader Jane Hume has accused the government of being \u201csneaky\u201d in its passage of tax legislation,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":715881,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44],"class_list":["post-715961","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715961","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=715961"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/715961\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/715881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=715961"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=715961"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=715961"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
