NEWS: We’re cutting gambling ads on TV, radio, online and on the field.

This deal brings our total fuel excise relief to 32c per litre every time you fill up.

My Address to the Nation.

Say goodbye to card surcharges.

BREAKING: Australians will no longer pay $1.6bn in card surcharges from October 1. People shouldn’t be punished for using a credit or debit card. That's why the Reserve Bank will today take steps to end credit and debit card surcharging from October 1. This change will make a meaningful difference with Australians no longer paying $1.6 bn a year in surcharges, and small businesses will save $910m.

We're halving the fuel tax for three months to save you money when you fill up. Conflict overseas is pushing up prices at home. And we know Australians are feeling the pressure.

Our top priority is helping Australians with the cost of living.

Our new laws to crack down on petrol price gouging have just passed Parliament. We're doubling penalties for companies doing the wrong thing. Because there's no excuse for increasing profits at the expense of Australians.

Every student deserves the best start in life. It’s why we’re fully funding every school in Australia. Great to say hello to these students from Star of the Sea Primary and Tarrawanna Public in Parliament House today.

NEWS: We're supporting a real pay rise for around 3 million workers.

Our Fuel Supply Taskforce is up and running. Coordinator Anthea Harris is already monitoring supply and demand, and working with states and territories. We’ll keep working to keep fuel moving where it’s needed most. So we can act early and stay prepared.

We’re working to secure the fuel Australia needs with our international partners and longstanding friends. Today, Prime Minister @LawrenceWongST of Singapore and I agreed to support the flow of essentials goods including petroleum oils, such as diesel, and liquified natural gas between our two countries. We'll keep working closely as we deal with the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East.

Millions of Australians will benefit from indexed payments and a higher small debt waiver, now set at $250 for the first time in over 30 years and indexed each year to the Consumer Price Index. Around 1.2 million minor debts will be wiped or no longer raised, cutting red tape and saving taxpayer money. These changes make the social security system fairer and more supportive for everyone who needs it. For the full list of indexed payment rates – including the Age Pension, Parenting Payment, JobSeeker Payment and Commonwealth Rent Assistance – visit: 👉dss.gov.au/system/files/d… #auspol @tanya_plibersek @AustralianLabor

Congratulations to Peter Malinauskas and our @alpsa team on a great result. Looking forward to continuing our work together for South Australia - with an even busier four years ahead.

I still remember the launch of Football Australia’s women and girls strategy. Looking back on that day makes me even prouder to think about how hard @TheMatildas fought last night, and how far we’ve come as a nation when it comes to championing women in sport.

So proud of our @TheMatildas. What an incredible run at the Asian Cup. You've inspired the country and given your all. Hold your heads high tonight. 💛💚🇦🇺

Vietnamese Australians have given so much to our country. Their impact is everywhere, from incredible food and thriving small businesses to such strong, vibrant communities. We’re a better country for it. And today was a chance to celebrate all of that with the community in Melbourne.

Congratulations, @pmalinauskasmp on your well deserved election victory. Looking forward to continuing our work together. From creating jobs in manufacturing and helping with the cost of living to building more homes and delivering better healthcare.

Congratulations to @PMalinauskasMP and South Australian Labor on your election victory! And thanks always to all Labor's supporters and volunteers 🙌

Eid Mubarak. An honour join thousands for Eid al-Fitr at Lakemba Mosque this morning.
