Treasurer Jim Chalmers has told the Greens to “stop playing political games”, as the party threatens to block Labor’s proposed tax reforms if superannuation is not added to parental leave. The proposed super tax hike for Australia’s wealthy is due to start after the next election and raise over $2.3 billion. The Greens will withhold support for the change unless the Treasurer forks out $200 million a year to increase super for women using the government’s paid parental scheme.
