Parliamentarians - especially ministers - who vote ro reduce bright line test from 10 to 2 years for tax free capital gains, and reintroducing interest tax deductibility, while owning multiple properties,   should face conflict of interest charges before the Privileges Committee.

As usual, the media is nowhere to be seen on this clear example of naked self interest.

This applies to those who vote against implementing the recommendations of the Independent Electoral Review...
