On The Call

One Nation polling, CGT frustration in deep tech and passport profiteering.

This week, Newspoll had One Nation jumping ahead of Labor on the primary vote, confirming what the exclusive DemosAU and Capital Brief poll first revealed last month. Meanwhile, frustration over the government's capital gains tax reforms continues to mount.


We discuss:

  • One Nation's polling surge and why both Labor and the Coalition have been slow to respond.
  • Tony Abbott's new role as President of the Liberal Party.
  • Expectations for the upcoming Victorian state election.
  • Why the CGT changes are both a political and policy mistake. 
  • Malcolm Turnbull's call to separate residential and non-residential CGT changes.
  • The government’s too little too late CGT consultations.
  • Australia's $422 passport — the most expensive in the world. 


On The Call is a weekly live conversation with the Capital Brief newsroom on the stories driving the agenda in Australia's centres of power.


Host Harshdeep Kaur sits down with Capital Brief's best journalists to dissect what we're watching and why it matters, and answer questions from our subscribers live.
