AS IT HAPPENED: Labor introduces controversial tax reform to parliament, Government to sue global company over PFAS contamination in 'largest legal claim ever'

Thanks for joining us for our rolling coverage on all things federal politics.

It was a busy day here in Canberra.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has introduced the government's tax reform legislation to parliament.

The Greens have sent it for an inquiry, while the Coalition is calling for an early election on the policy.

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland announced the Commonwealth has begun legal proceedings against 3M - the manufacturer of firefighting foams containing PFAS "forever chemicals".

She said it was the largest ever legal claim brought by the Commonwealth.

Elsewhere, at the National Press Club, Housing Minister Clare O'Neil announced $40 million for prefabricated and modular housing, a meeting of all the relevant state and territory ministers, and an inquiry to boost housing supply.

That's it for today. Parliament is not sitting tomorrow but will be back from Tuesday.

We'll see you then!

Circling back to a moment in question time, Taylor's office has confirmed the opposition leader had called Albanese an "arrogant prick".

It was missed under all the shouting but Burke caught it and told the Speaker it was "way beyond unparliamentary".

Taylor was forced to withdraw his remark so the chamber could move on.

A Sydney man has been fined $30,000 by the Federal Court for distributing unauthorised pamphlets about teal independent MP Allegra Spender at last year's election.

More than 47,000 pamphlets accusing Spender of misleading the electorate were delivered throughout the Wentworth area a day after early voting began in April 2025.

Today in court, Jarrod Davis has agreed to pay the $30,000 penalty and $15,000 to cover the Australian Electoral Commission's legal fees.

AEC Commissioner Jeff Pope said the court decision sent a strong message to the community.

"This case was one of the clearest breaches of Australia's electoral authorisation laws the AEC has seen in some time," he said.

"Australian voters have a right to know the source of campaign material at a federal election, and today's result reinforces this expectation as a fundamental aspect of electoral law."

Question time has ended on time today. Taylor used up the last few minutes criticising the tax reform.

The MPs are now filing out of the chamber.

Here's some of the moments from today.

Taylor, who has looked rather displeased this question time, has moved to suspend standing orders to move his following motion:

"That this House condemns the Albanese Labor government for:

1) Arrogantly misleading Australians about the government's plans for toxic taxes.

2) Not having the courage to take their toxic taxes to the Australian people at an election.

3) Taxing Australians more than any other Australian government in history.

4) Betraying the hardest working Australians who are willing to take risks and who have made the biggest sacrifices, and

5) Hurting Australians without any understanding of who will be punished and to what extent Australians will also be worse off."

Leader of the House Tony Burke has stood up to spell out the rules for moving a motion and said Taylor's approach did not follow convention.

Dick agreed and said the ball was back in Labor's court. The motion will take place at a different time.

"This has not happened before in this way. I think the leader of the opposition was just intending to get the debate going," he said.

Independent MP Dai Le has asked the government if it is helping settle the so-called ISIS brides who have arrived in Australia.

"The government isn't settling anyone," Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said.

"We have had citizens return as we've had citizens have self-managed returns before we came to office, including 45 men who have gone there to fight."

Burke added the government has engaged in consultation to form its view against this group of Australians.

Taylor has asked when the government will ditch its tax reform, given NSW Premier Chris Minns and WA Premier Roger Cook - both Labor leaders - have pushed back on the capital gains discount changes.

Cook has said he wanted to make sure the tax changes won't disincentivise investment into mining projects while Minns has called for income tax to be reduced.

Albanese laughed at the question and called it a "fantasy".

"You know what the people on this side have to say in the Labor caucus?" he said.

"What they say to me is how proud they are that we are fighting for values that matter."

After a lot of yelling and disruptions throughout the question and response, Labor MP Ged Kearney and Nationals MP Jamie Chaffey have also been kicked out.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has taken a dig at the Coalition over its call for an early election.

"I hear them chirping away about going to an early election," he said.

"I don't think they want an election right now."

One Nation is nipping at the Coalition's heels, with a Resolve poll for The Sydney Morning Herald finding the right-wing party overtook the opposition on primary vote for the first time.

Currently, the Coalition has 41 lower-house MPs, as opposed to Labor's 94.

It's after 2pm which means question time has started.

Up first is Opposition Leader Angus Taylor asking Prime Minister Anthony Albanese why he does not have the courage to take his "toxic taxes" to an election.

He also accused the government of lying after going back on a key election promise not to adjust the capital gains tax discount or negative gearing.

Speaker Milton Dick has pulled him up on accusing another member of lying - something he has been forced to do in many question times since the changes were announced in the federal budget earlier this month.

"It does not support the dignity of those house and all of us as members," he said.

"An accusation that a member has lied or deliberately misled is an imputation for an improper motive.

"This language is unparliamentary."

Moving on, Albanese has stood up to respond to the question.

But before he can even start speaking, he is met with some yelling from the other side.

Herbert MP Phillip Thompson has been booted out of the House of Representatives within five minutes of question time starting.

Dick said parliament has "not been its best" this week.

Health Minister Mark Butler said the five Australians and one New Zealander on board the hantavirus-infected MV Hondius will spend an extra three weeks in quarantine due to the risk of transmission up to 42 days after incubation.

There have also been two additional reports of hantavirus since among the passengers and crew members who have returned to their 23 countries of origin.

Butler said a crew member tested positive in the Netherlands and a passenger tested positive in Spain.

A total of three people have died so far.

Due to the continued risk, Butler has advised the group remain in quarantine until June 23.

"The passengers have been informed about the advice and the decision of the government," Butler said.

"They remain well. They've only been tested again in the last 24-36 hours or so and all six have again tested negative.

"But the cases overseas and the advice, not just of our public health officials but of the World Health Organisation, indicate that does not mean that the risk of testing positive sometime in the future during that 42-day incubation period has not passed."
