Labor is laying the groundwork for a major overhaul of Australia’s tax system. 

In just over a week, a hand-picked group of people from business, unions and government will gather in Canberra for an economic roundtable.

Already, a range of ideas are being touted for debate: from lowering company tax rates, to rethinking negative gearing, and a carbon tax.

The prime minister is watching carefully to see which ideas gain traction – and which are political poison – before claiming them as part of his own agenda. 

Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton on Anthony Albanese’s long game – and the way he wants to change the economy to change the country.
