earning personal a rebuke from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese<\/a>.<\/p>\n\u201cGeoff Wilson has been a political participant for some period of time,\u201d Mr Albanese said in May.<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone knows that that\u2019s the case, so I expect no different from Tony Abbott opposing whatever\u2019s in the budget, or John Howard will oppose whatever\u2019s in the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Business Council of Australia has also been a vocal opponent of the government\u2019s new tax bill, which it said would increase costs for millions of Australians and leave the nation less competitive. <\/p>\n
Chief executive Bran Black said in June the reforms did \u201cnot stack up\u201d and a series of analysis and inquiries had unearthed more questions than answers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe test for any tax reform is whether it increases investment, grows the economic pie and boosts living standards. This legislation fails that test,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite a rushed consultation process, rushed Senate inquiry and rushed parliamentary debate, significant questions remain unanswered, including basic issues like how many Australians will end up paying more and how much it will cost to comply with these changes.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The federal government is facing fresh criticism over its controversial
