Self-managed superannuation fund (SMSF) managers and parts of the business sector are criticising a federal government deal with the Greens used to pass the government’s tax reform agenda through the upper house. All three reports describe the reaction as angered or dissatisfied, with SMSF managers raising concerns about the implications of the tax changes and the way the legislation is being advanced. The criticism is framed around the impact that the proposed reforms could have on superannuation arrangements, although specific technical details of the tax measures are not provided in the excerpts. The West Australian and PerthNow echo the account reported by Michael West, indicating the same core dispute: that a negotiated cross-party agreement with the Greens is central to securing the numbers needed in the upper chamber. The reporting focuses on who is unhappy—SMSF managers and business groups—rather than presenting a defence of the deal or counterarguments from the government or the Greens in the provided summaries.
