Independent MP Dai Le rattled Albanese in Question Time after asking him to give Australians a straight assurance that no government MP, and no close relation of a government MP, used prior market-sensitive knowledge of Labor\u2019s capital gains tax and negative gearing changes for private financial benefit.
\nIt was a basic integrity question. Dai Le was not asking for theatre. She was asking whether anyone close to the government had the chance to position themselves ahead of major tax changes that could affect property decisions, investments, market behaviour and household finances across the country.<\/p>\n
Albanese did not give the assurance. He stood up, snapped back at her, and tried to turn the whole thing into a personal jab by telling her this was not a local council, this was serious government, a clear shot at her former role as a councillor instead of a direct answer to the actual question.<\/p>\n
Dai Le raised a point of order and asked him to be direct, but Albanese still refused to answer the substance. That is why the moment matters. Not because Dai Le asked something outrageous, but because the Prime Minister was given a chance to simply say no one benefited from inside knowledge and he chose to attack her instead.<\/p>\n
Dai Le hit a raw nerve, and she deserves credit for asking the question every Australian should want answered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
