Discontent over tax plan also seeps through in coalition: 'No casino politics'

Prime Minister Rob Jetten stated that the government has never accommodated so many opposition demands, yet opposition leaders expressed dissatisfaction with the tax plan. The cabinet struggles to secure broad support, facing criticism from left-wing parties like PRO and Volt, who refuse to back the plan. Right-wing parties, while cautiously optimistic, link their support to other issues. Meanwhile, smaller parties like 50PLUS and CU have engaged positively with the cabinet, but concerns remain about the plan's acceptance in the Senate. Coalition leaders express disappointment over the lack of a comprehensive deal with the opposition, fearing the government's stability is at risk if a majority cannot be achieved.
