Nailed It

@aaronsmith Lots

How many part time workers at Woolies, attending University, plough cash into EFTs?

@MurrayWatt More LIES. It's all you have. Pathetic

While we’re delivering a Budget of reform and resilience, the Liberals are reaching back 30 years to bring back Fightback, which wanted to completely cut Medicare.

@TheKouk Yeh. Let's not consider Tax implications. FFS 🤡

If tax policy is the fundamental issue for you when you are starting a business, perhaps stick to knitting ...

@Mayella09476043 where's my rent?

@GrumpyOLSoldier List of whinging grievances does not a post make!

> Implying that the average 22 year old supermarket worker who’s also studying at university, has the disposable income to plow into the share market. 🤡

@belinduhpyne so no rebuttals?

Murdoch scare campaign in 3, 2, 1

How to prove you have no idea without actually saying it. Economic idiots

Fair question @AlboMP @JEChalmers ?

@JEChalmers It's a disaster

This is the most important and ambitious Budget in decades. Important because the world is throwing a lot at us – and this Budget is about helping Australia deal with these challenges. And ambitious because we have so much going for us – and this Budget is about Australia seizing those opportunities. This Budget is ambitious in the face of adversity. It’s a responsible Budget, and a reforming Budget, which builds resilience and bolsters our economy. There is more cost of living relief, more Medicare and more aged care, and more housing. It makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations – Responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities. We are responding to the biggest oil shock in history with a comprehensive $14.8 billion plan to secure more fuel, strengthen our supply chains, build resilience, and take the sting out of prices. Immediate relief from the fuel crisis is coupled with lasting and responsible cost of living measures. Tonight, we are proud to be delivering another round of ongoing tax cuts for Australian workers. We will put more money into the pockets of 13.3 million workers with a new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset. It will begin from the second half of 2027 and be paid each year, ongoing and automatically in your tax return just like the instant deduction we’re rolling out as well. The $6.4 billion tax offset is the biggest cost of living measure in this Budget – But it’s not all we’re doing to support families under pressure. As a Labor government, we will always invest in Medicare, cheaper medicines and public health so Australians get the care they need, when they need it. Australia’s longstanding housing shortage is making homes unaffordable. This challenge hits young workers and families hard and we’re addressing it from every responsible angle. The reforms in this Budget will lift our total investment in housing to a record $47 billion. We’re levelling the playing field for first home buyers with 5 per cent deposits and tax reform to help more young Australians into their own home. These housing reforms go to the core of our Budget strategy. Dealing with the very real pressures on people right now – While taking responsibility for the challenges facing the next generations. The challenges coming at us, the opportunities ahead of us and the better future that Australians deserve, will not wait for a time when all is quiet in the world. That’s why this Budget invests in resilience and reform, to grow our economy the right way and lift living standards over time. This productivity package will help us attract and absorb more investment, make it easier and quicker to build, and slash compliance costs. This Budget includes the most significant tax reform package in more than a quarter of a century. This is about tax relief and tax reform to make our economy work for more Australians, businesses and future generations. We’re delivering a fairer tax system for workers, first home buyers and young people. We’re building a better tax system for businesses, with over $3.5 billion in new measures that lower taxes, to encourage investment and innovation. Our tax reforms will help workers, create a fairer housing market, and drive more productive investment across our economy. Debt is lower and the budget position is stronger in every year of the medium term because of our savings. The medium-term budget position is much stronger and more sustainable as a consequence, creating more room for future tax relief. Against a backdrop of global uncertainty, this Budget invests in Australia’s resilience, economic sovereignty and national security. At a time when Australians are under pressure, this Budget delivers more help with the cost of living and new tax cuts for workers. And in an era where people feel like the system no longer works for them, this Budget doesn’t just acknowledge that – it acts on it. No other budget in the 2000s has set out this much responsible Budget repair and this much economic reform. These are difficult decisions to ensure a stronger bottom line every year, to give us greater insurance in uncertain times. At the same time as we build a more resilient, productive and competitive economy. This is a strategy which helps shield people from the harshest consequences of a global oil crisis – Stabilises our economy and our Budget at a time of extreme uncertainty and volatility in the world – And strengthens Australia for the next shock. Tonight, we choose the hard road of reform, not the path of least resistance. By responding to the pressures Australians confront today. And fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities to the generations to come.

@AlboMP FAIL

Because help with the cost of living is our number one priority.

@JEChalmers 68c per day. Gee thanks

BREAKING: We’ll put more money into the pockets of 13.3M workers with a new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset.

@Ben_Davison1 That's INFLATION Idiots never understand it's NOT how much you get paid it's how far that money goes.

More than 13,000,000 working Australians getting $53 A WEEK in tax reductions. Thats a Labor budget!

What crap. These people are delusional

@AlboMP YOU have made it much worse.

Young Australians shouldn't have to rent forever.

@lhilakari Yeh lets not work hard and build our own futures. Let's all be Govt independent

Anyone who is sooking that they can’t make more money from buying extra homes in a housing crisis can get in the bin. Why should the govt make your housing investment bullet proof, whilst young people can’t get a first house. So pleased the govt took action. #auspol

@Ben_Davison1 what crap. Labor. All promises and spin but NO action

This is a proper reforming budget. Reforms to: Taxes✅ Health✅ Wealth hoarding✅ Housing✅ Hospitals✅ Education✅ Intergenerational equity✅ Good work Jim.

@Ben_Davison1 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Labor has improved the national budget position by almost $240,000,000,000 since coming to office That’s a Labor government

@JacintaAllanMP GOOD

Jess Wilson’s Liberals plan to cut 1 in 7 public servants, including health workers, disability workers and child protection officers. Jess Wilson’s Liberals cut and Victorians pay the price.
