Hey, Sash, Labor's highly contentious changes to capital gains and negative gearing tax concessions have now passed the lower house but are facing a blockade in the Senate.

The government's budget measures, which also include changes to how family trusts operate, sailed through the House of Reps yesterday, Arvo, thanks to Labor's 94-seat majority.

That advantage also meant it passed without amendments, including carve-outs for small businesses proposed by the Coalition and some crossbenchers.

Yeah, but Senate inquiries into both the NDIS and tax reforms could now be extended by both the Greens and the Coalition if the parties decide to team up.

Both want greater scrutiny of the legislation with fears that true impacts aren't clear yet and there is time for further consultation.

The government's calling for a thorough investigation into allegations made by several Australian activists that they were sexually assaulted while detained by Israeli forces.

Eleven Australians were on board a global flotilla bound for Gaza when they were detained in international waters near Cyprus last month, with some members of the group saying they were sexually assaulted once detained, claims that the foreign minister says she believes.

That was Penny Wong in Senate estimates yesterday.

Yeah.

And interestingly, we spoke to one of the Flotilla participants, one of the Aussie Flotilla participants, Niamh O'Connor.

I'll play a little bit of what she had to say.

Yes, that's a little bit of my chat with her.

We'll pop a link to that in the show notes.

Interestingly, she was in Canberra this week.

She'd been invited and a bunch of other activists had been invited to Canberra by the Greens.

And they're really ramping up the pressure on the Prime Minister and the Foreign Minister to do a little bit more when it comes to this.

So the government has announced that they're, you know, calling for an investigation here.

Whether or not that will eventuate, time will tell.

Hezbollah's chief says that is not going to happen.

They will not be withdrawing their fighters, promising their resistance will continue and that Israeli troops must withdraw from Lebanon immediately.
