The oppo say Fee-Free TAFE is “wasteful spending.” I’m not surprised. This is the group who STILL haven’t said sorry to the victims of their illegal Robotdebt scheme. Instead of targeting vulnerable Aussies like the previous gov, we’re giving them the support they need.

The majority of the Liberal Party room gutted net zero because their MPs hardly exist in the capital cities, where more than 2 of every 3 Australians live. I cannot see a way back to the Government benches for the Coalition with this ignorant & unpopular policy backflip. #auspol

Dropped in to wish Alice Jordan-Baird all the very best before she delivered her First Speech. Congratulations Alice in an outstanding first contribution to the Australian Parliament. May there be many more!

Thanks to @PressClubAust for the opportunity today to explain why resilience in the face of global volatility, budget sustainability and productivity will be the three highest priorities for our second term economic agenda and the reform roundtable I convene in August. The

Apprentice chippies, joiners, bricklayers, plumbers, and sparkies like Matt rely on their cars for work - that's why we made rego free for eligible apprentices. This is real help with the cost of living.

I am honoured to be appointed the inaugural Patron of @WorldSkills Australia. An organisation committed to showcasing the very best of our skills, domestically and internationally. A body dedicated to excellence & to inspiring people to embark on a VET pathway to great jobs

Australia is well placed and well prepared to deal with the uncertainty we see in the global economy because of the progress that we’ve made together over the course of the past three years. We've got inflation down substantially, real wages are up, unemployment is low, we've

/1🚨BREAKING — Rep. @ByronDonalds is now a plaintiff in AFL’s landmark lawsuit challenging the 2020 Census. The Census SKEWED population counts and STOLE representation. Every American deserves to be counted AND represented.

Inflation is down. Wages are up. Interest rates have started to fall. Thanks to the hard work of Australians, we're headed in the right direction.

This is not a time for cutting and wrecking, for thinking small, punching down, aiming low or looking back. This is a time for building.

Jim Chalmers says “no matter what Peter Dutton tries to say today…the Coalition is about 3 things. Higher taxes for every worker, secret cuts to pay for Nuclear reactors, and no ongoing cost of living relief. That’s what they’re on about. That’s the difference.”💥#auspol

So @PeterDutton_MP just lied Under the LNP Australia would already have had gross debt of: * $1.05 trillion in 23-24 * $1.12 trillion in 24-25 * $1.17 trillion in 25-26 This was confirmed in the independent 2022 #PEEFO

Do you hold legacy investment positions with significant gains? What if you could transition into an ETF without facing a large tax bill? You can, with a 351 ETF Exchange. Here’s how it works: Investors contribute stocks or other securities to a newly formed ETF in exchange for

Poor @PeterDutton_MP upset that we delivered only 2 surpluses. Worse apparently than the 9 they missed out delivering.

Labor's tax breaks for small businesses just passed the House of Representatives. #auspol #ausecon

The Coalition has been crystal clear that they do not support free TAFE, and that it will be cut should Peter Dutton become Prime Minister. Tonight’s budget reply confirmed it, with no commitment to funding further free TAFE places. Cutting free TAFE would be devastating for

Angus Taylor has just confirmed he’ll introduce legislation to raise income taxes on every Australian taxpayer, 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

Jim Chalmers calls out Angus Taylor for a brain snap in voting against a tax cut but then complaining about cost of living in a question to Albanese. "that's why they're all looking at their phones & shoes because they know once again he's been found out and found wanting" #qt

We’ve made a lot of progress together as Australians and our economy is now turning a corner, but there’s more to do. This election will be a choice between @AlboMP and @AustralianLabor helping you with the cost of living, strengthening Medicare, and Building Australia’s Future

In his budget reply @PeterDutton_MP complains that in 3 years of government Labor delivered ‘just 2’ budget surpluses. In 9 years of government how many did Liberals deliver? ZERO. None. Despite promising a surplus in their 1st budget and every budget after. #Auspol2025 #Budget25

A levy cut for a year will never beat a tax cut forever

Our budget delivers cost-of-living relief and invests in Australia’s future. Peter Dutton’s plan? $350 billion in cuts with no details of where they’ll come from.

China just pulled off the biggest gold market heist in history. While we're all distracted watching Powell, Shanghai has taken control of 75% of global gold trading. Here's how they did it 🧵
