| Pauline Hanson | Pauline Hanson's One Nation Party | Tax | major | The statement refers to Labor's capital gains tax (CGT) discount for foreign investors, which One Nation opposed. Previously, Hanson indicated that One Nation would move to amend Labor's tax bill to remove controversial CGT changes, suggesting a more supportive stance towards CGT concessions for Australians. This shift implies a contradiction in her position on CGT, which could impact Australian investors and businesses facing increased tax burdens while foreign investors receive benefits. | 07/09/2026 | published |
