But by putting all of these things together, what's happening here?

They're just trying to wedge the coalition into if they don't want to accept the CGT stuff, they're going to have to vote against the tax cut as well.

You mentioned that the detail we still don't have.

So at the moment, what they're doing is passing kind of like the shell of the budget, and then they'll put the stuff in the shell a bit later.

That suggests, though, that the negotiations that the government's currently having with the startup sector, small business, possibly you could even say business generally, they seem to be consulting reasonably widely, that that's still up in the air, that that's all to play for, particularly around the way capital gains tax concessions work.

Do you have any idea what concessions or carve-outs or amendments they have in mind here?

Why is it, Sam?

So you've delivered me, deliberately or otherwise, quite neatly to One Nation, actually, because One Nation's position has been fascinating on this.

Pauline Hanson spoke about her own approach to negative gearing, which would be to limit it to two properties.

So rather than this Labor approach, which is about preserving it for new builds, but removing it, albeit in a grandfathered way, for current property.

So there's that policy there.

But before you get to that policy, she did articulate a particular philosophical objection, which is,

she didn't want to remove investor tax concessions because that was just denying young people the opportunity to benefit from the tax concessions that older people had already benefited from.

So I guess what we're watching is an argument over whether young people see themselves as potential investors and business owners and people who build wealth, or they simply see themselves as people who are being locked out of a market because they will never be able to invest.

I don't know who's reading the electorate and the mood of young voters particularly,

better.

Who do you think wins that political argument?

Still to come, could the Teals combine forces in a new party?

So it feels like about three weeks ago that we heard rumblings within federal politics about the Teals perhaps coming together and forming something that is a party, really, that's formally a party.

Then I think that kind of, there was a huge bang and then it kind of went a bit quiet.
