Political wedges and a welfare shake-up
Politics Now

And the Opposition has unveiled a political wedge of its own, threatening to withhold crucial support for Labor's NDIS overhaul without an inquiry into CGT and negative gearing changes in exchange. Meanwhile, the Government has announced a major welfare shake-up, but new inflation figures and the return of more so-called ISIS brides could steal some of the spotlight. Patricia Karvelas and David Speers break it all down on Politics Now. Got a burning question? Got a burning political query?
