Should the Treasurer have powers to alter capital gains tax and negative gearing rules after legislation passes?

The measures are forecast to raise over $80 billion when combined with planned trust reforms. Critics argue the powers reduce parliamentary scrutiny while the government says they provide flexibility with oversight.
