Remember the Coalition’s “Back in Black” mugs? ☕ They printed them but never delivered a surplus. Labor’s delivered 2 back-to-back surpluses, cut debt, kept unemployment low & found $100B in savings. You’ve have to be a mug to think that the Coalition can manage money #auspol

Bitcoin or Australian businesses? Labor’s tax reforms ask a simple question: should the tax system encourage speculation or productive investment that helps grow the Australian economy? We’re choosing productivity #auspol

Labor reforms – the Coalition opposes. They opposed uniform taxation, CGT, FBT and universal superannuation. No surprise now that they’re opposing tax reforms that boost fairness and help first home buyers. #auspol

The House has just passed Labor’s tax reform bills. The Coalition opposed Medicare, capital gains tax, universal super and now fairer housing tax settings. Labor is backing workers and first home buyers. #auspol

The Coalition opposed Medicare. They opposed universal super. They opposed capital gains tax. Now they're opposing reforms to make housing more affordable & the tax system fairer. Labor's job is to govern. The Opposition's job seems to be saying no #auspol

One Nation want to trick you into voting for them by making you angry. But true patriots deal in facts, not fear. My response to the commentary on my latest video. #auspol

Sydney to Canberra by train? Beautiful… but a little slow. We’re investing to get travel time down below 4 hours. Greener, cheaper, more productive. 🚆

Canberra is stronger because so many Indian Australians call it home. Their contribution spans science, small business, public service and community life, and it shows in every festival, temple and neighbourhood gathering across our city. #auspol

Migrants build our homes, power our economy, and strengthen our communities. Walking away from a non-discriminatory immigration policy isn’t strength. It’s insecurity. #auspol

Throughout history, the Coalition has opposed big reforms. They fought uniform income tax, capital gains tax, fringe benefits tax and universal super. Now they’re opposing a Budget that cuts income taxes, builds homes and lifts productivity. #auspol

Predictable scare tactics: Labor introduces serious reform and the Liberals bring on a fear campaign. But if scare campaigns wrote the rules, Australia would never make the changes that widen opportunity and lift dynamism.

I’m sick of the Coalition demonising migrants. Surveys show 9 in 10 Aussies back multiculturalism. That’s the real story: unity, not division. #auspol

Reform attracts resistance. That was true in the 1980s, and it’s true today. Our Budget tackles tax concessions around trusts, negative gearing and capital gains because younger Australians deserve a fair crack at home ownership. More homes, fairer rules, lower taxes for working Australians. #auspol

65,000 years of connection to Country. Spending time in the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community is a reminder that this story didn’t start with us, and it doesn’t end with us. Listening, learning, and walking alongside community is a privilege I never take for granted.

Would you notice if I shrank by 15%? Same suit. Same love of evidence. Just smaller. That’s shrinkflation. Same price, less inside. If your weekly shop isn’t lasting the week, it’s not your imagination. We’re making labels simpler, fairer and easier to read so Australians can get a fair deal. 🛒

Under the Coalition, 6 out of 8 refineries went out of business. Not exactly a masterclass in fuel security. We’ve been doing the opposite: stockpiling billions of litres of fuel, shining a weekly spotlight on petrol prices, & backing EVs #auspol

Australians still believe in the Great Australian Dream. It just shouldn’t require the patience of a saint and the savings of a CEO. This video looks at how we restore balance.
