WHV age change
I was just reading about the backpacker tax climb down (a pathetic tax idea anyway - Turnbull and Morrison are just tinkering around the edges instead of taking the necessary hard choices of cutting welfare and other spending and civil servant numbers) and see that the government is increasing the age limit from 30 to 35 - and reducing the application fee

Re: WHV age change
News reporting age limit 35, taxation at 19% and superannuation cashout out %5. Can't find anything on official websites though

Re: WHV age change
The Working Holiday changes are not really a tax climbdown because the government will be clawing it all back (and then some) via the superannuation tax that they will have to pay. Also, the tax threshold is quite high for WHV holders who will be making more than $37,000, which is, I imagine, almost everyone.
Here is the detailed information about the Working Holiday changes:
