Labor's changes to stage three tax cuts will pass parliament after the Coalition agreed to the reform that redistributes benefits to low- and middle-income earners.

The Coalition party room met on Tuesday, endorsing a decision of shadow cabinet to attempt to amend but not to vote against Labor's tax plan despite weeks of arguing that Anthony Albanese had lied and reneged on his commitment to the tax cuts before the 2022 election.
