Getting compliance costs down for builders was a big focus of our Budget and we’re making access to building standards free. Instead of paying up to $1600 a year to access the standards, tradies will get them for free. That means more money in the pockets of tradies and small businesses and higher standards all round. Big thanks to James and the team at BM Sydney Materials for welcoming us in Cabramatta. Anne Stanley MP

Angus Taylor has just confirmed he’ll introduce legislation to raise income taxes on every Australian worker, if they win the election. This means under Peter Dutton and the Coalition, Australians will earn less and keep less of what they earn. You’ll be worse off under Dutton. #auspol #ausecon

A year ago today, the Liberals said they’d roll back your tax cut. They’re for taxpayer funded long lunches for bosses, and against tax cuts and wage rises for workers. #auspol #ausecon

Medicare is not safe in Peter Dutton’s hands. He can’t find the $600b he needs to build nuclear reactors without coming after Medicare again, just like he did when he was health minister. #auspol #ausecon #insiders

Peter Dutton is going to borrow and burn another $10b but provide no ongoing help with the cost of living, and claw it back with permanently higher income taxes, lower wages and secret cuts which will make Australians worse off. #auspol #ausecon

This week Labor released our plan to maximise the upsides and minimise the risks of AI in Australia. Part of that is about legislating standards for data centres, making sure that creatives maintain control of their work, and centralising AI in the work of the Cabinet and the government. Appreciate Alan Kohler having me back again on his podcast to discuss this in depth - if you’d like to watch the full interview, search That’s Business wherever you get your podcasts.

Analysis from Treasury of new ATO data for 2023-24 shows that 0.2% of tax filers earned around 60% of all the net capital gains income, while 99% of tax filers earned only 13%. We are making the tax system fairer for workers, first home buyers and young Australians.

A big day today with more cost of living relief coming in the form of more tax cuts and pay rises, payday super and an extension to paid parental leave, fuel tax relief and the small business instant asset write off. We know people are under pressure that’s why the Albanese Australian Labor Government is delivering this cost of living help at the same time as we deliver real change in the tax system to make it easier for first home buyers.

Labor is delivering five tax cuts in three different ways. Tomorrow we’ll introduce historic legislation to deliver more tax cuts to Australian workers. If the Coalition votes against our tax cuts, they will be voting – yet again - for higher income taxes for millions of Australian workers.

We’ve introduced laws today that are all about cutting taxes for workers, making it easier to buy a first home, and better aligning the tax treatment of labour and tax income. This is the first step in delivering the most significant reform of the tax system in over a quarter of a century, to help more Australians get ahead and into a home of their own.
