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

This is the new leader of the Liberal Party. He went to the election promising higher taxes for every taxpayer as well as bigger deficits and more debt.

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

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.

Another day another clanger from Tim Wilson whose horror start continues. For this shadow treasurer it’s just one humiliation after another. Everyone gets a number wrong from time to time but Tim Wilson seems incapable of getting anything right.

Cleaner, cheaper more reliable energy is a golden opportunity for our economy. By abandoning net zero the Coalition would take Australia backwards down the least responsible path - to higher electricity prices, less investor certainty and a weaker economy.

Australians did not ask for this war but they are paying a very hefty price for it. That's why we are working around the clock with businesses, unions and peak bodies to make sure we're doing what we can to help small businesses through this.

I’m heading to Washington DC today to engage with economic ministers at meetings of the G20 and the IMF and World Bank. My five areas of focus will be joining with other countries in continuing to call for an enduring ceasefire and an end to the conflict, working with partners to amplify our efforts to help secure Australia’s fuel supplies, strengthening our supply chains, calibrating our Budget forecasts with expectations, forecasts and developments in the world economy, and promoting us as an investment destination.

What the Greens showed this week is they care more about retweets than renters, more about TikTok than housing stock. They had a chance to work with Labor to build more social & affordable homes or side with the Coalition of cookers & they chose the Coalition of cookers. #auspol
