And now @AlboMP has refused to rule out taxing unrealised capital gains on family homes and family trusts. Australians have every reason to be worried. #auspol.

Labor’s Medicare promise has fallen apart on the first day of Parliament. Australians deserve timely and affordable access to the healthcare they need. Yet, GP bulk billing has fallen from 88% to 77% under Labor, and out-of-pocket costs have reached the highest level on record.

Since coming to office, Labor's decisions have raised the deficit by 0.7% of GDP. That could have closed the gap between Labor's weak defence target of 2.3% and the Coalition's strong target of 3%. Budgets are about priorities. Labor’s fiscal recklessness puts Australia at risk.

Under Labor, rates have risen 12 times and fallen just 2 times. The average mortgage holder is paying $1,900 more per month in interest than when Labor came to office. Chalmers wants to pass the buck, but the truth is rates are higher for longer because of his lack of discipline.

It’ll be a missed opportunity if Jim Chalmers doesn’t seek exemptions from tariffs in his meeting with @SecScottBessent. Given the PM failed the test of leadership on US engagement over recent days, here’s a chance for the Treasurer to show economic leadership.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has admitted the federal budget is unsustainable, flagging potential tax changes beyond superannuation.

If Labor’s own Cabinet Minister Amanda Rishworth can’t explain Labor’s super tax, how can Australians trust it?. It’s a sneaky tax grab from a government that’s addicted to higher taxes.

Zali Steggall confirms she's a Green in Teal disguise & votes over 75% of the time in Parliament with the Greens. By dismissing zero emissions nuclear she's running a Greens agenda. Steggall would never support a Liberal minority govt. A vote for Steggall is a vote for Albanese.

Independent analysis has exposed a $62 billion black hole in the Albanese Government’s energy experiment. Unfortunately, it's everyday Australian households and businesses that will pay for Labor's mistakes. Learn more:

🇨🇦 🇸🇪 Zero-emissions, nuclear energy delivers cheaper power bills 🇰🇷 🇺🇸. That's why 50 countries are exploring nuclear energy for the first time and 33 other economies already use nuclear. It's time to talk nuclear, Australia.

Albo promised he would reduce your energy bills by $275 but has instead delivered the highest energy prices on record. Use our energy bill calculator to find out What Albo Owes You!. 👉

📈Your electricity bills have soared by 15.9% during Labor's first 12 months in Government and it's only getting worse. Household electricity costs will skyrocket again by up to 31.1% on July 1. That's another $564 burden on your household budget. #auspol

Australia is already a nuclear nation, but there's a form of nuclear technology that we’ve never embarked upon. Next-generation, zero-emissions nuclear energy. In fact we have 70 years of nuclear experience and are known as one of the world’s most sophisticated nuclear nations.

Labor's energy plan is failing and Australian businesses are paying "horrendous" prices as a result. The Government's unprecedented overreach into the gas market continues to suffocate supply, restrict new investment and increase prices. #auspol #Auspol2023

Our peer nations are putting all options on the table to keep their energy system reliable as we decarbonise, but Labor wont even consider new nuclear technology - a proven and reliable form of zero emissions energy generation. 👇

Electricity prices continue to spiral out of control under Labor, with further increases to whack small businesses by an additional $1151 and families by $463. Labor cannot be trusted to reduce energy prices. #auspol

Australians want low-cost, reliable and clean energy to power our future. Many of our trusted international allies are embracing the technology to deliver on climate targets and keep energy prices low. The Albanese Government refuses to even have a conversation about it.

4/4 . On AUKUS, how does the Prime Minister think his public mocking of zero-emissions nuclear energy deepens relations with the US and UK when these allies consider nuclear energy as a critical enabler to achieving their net-zero targets?. #auspol.
