@JEChalmers Somebody should tell him In Australia, building standards (the National Construction Code / NCC) are already free. That change was introduced around 2022 so builders, designers, and the public can view the code without paying for the old subscription-style access.

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. @AnneWerriwa

@AlboMP You're doing it because Labor has overspent.

We're bringing the dream of home ownership back in reach for young Australians. And it's why we're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.

@AlboMP How do you know he’s lying? His mouth’s moving.

Building more homes across the country. Making the tax system fairer. And 5% deposits for first home buyers. We're throwing everything we can at housing.

@Tank9999 Don’t be like Allan Green. Living proof that a keyboard doesn’t come with a competency test.

#auspol #insiders 9 out of 10 people under 35 in Australia do NOT own Investment Properties or Shares so will not be affected by the changes to Capital Gains Tax

@JEChalmers How do you know he’s lying? His mouth’s moving.

BREAKING: We’ve signed a deal which means an extra 50k homes in Qld. 20k of these homes will be built for first homebuyers. Building more homes and making more of those homes available for first homebuyers is what this Budget is all about.

@AustralianLabor Labor is a house of lies.

More tax cuts for working Australians are on the way in Labor's Budget.

@AlboMP Behold! The grand oracle of misinformation speaks once more, brace yourselves.

We’re building more homes right across the country, like these 100 new homes ready to go here in Prospect. But we know more supply is only part of the answer. That’s why we’re changing unfair tax breaks for investors to make the housing system better for first home buyers. And helping more Australians buy a home with just a 5% deposit. Because if you work hard and save, you should have a fair go at owning a home.

@AlboMP Behold! The grand oracle of misinformation speaks once more, brace yourselves.

Changing the tax system to help more young Australians into their first home.

@AlboMP Labor lies. Power bills will be $275 cheaper, We will keep the Stage 3 tax cuts exactly as legislated, No changes to negative gearing / capital gains tax, Housing affordability improving, Migration pressure easing, Urgent care clinics by the promised deadline, Don't be like Albo.

We’re acting to give young Australians a fair go and to build more homes.

@robbierocket7 @SkyNewsAust You missed the point "our money shouldn't be telling us who to vote for"

@SkyNewsAust so what does sky news do if they're not trying to influence who people vote for?

Karl Stefanovic has furiously hit out at the ABC, telling the national broadcaster "our money shouldn't be telling us who to vote for" after host Patricia Karvelas suggested One Nation was an illegitimate political party. skynews.com.au/lifestyle/cele…

@SkyNewsAust Means nothing if he won't pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Angus Taylor's budget reply speech has been broadly welcomed by Sky News' Andrew Bolt, Sharri Markson and Ross Greenwood, but the trio cautioned the Opposition Leader still had work to do to win over Australians. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@AngusTaylorMP Means nothing if you don't pull us out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

Labor has taken your freedom. A Coalition government under my leadership will axe their inflation tax, end mass immigration, scrap net zero and give Australia back to you. 🇦🇺

@mattjcan Means nothing if you don't pull Australia out of the Paris Climate Agreement.

We will oppose and repeal all of Labor's bad taxes. Labor's tax on property - by closing negative gearing - will go Labor's tax on investment - by increasing capital gains taxes - will go. Labor's tax on small business - by taxing trusts - will go. Labor's tax on non electric cars will go. Labor's tax on industry - through carbon taxes - will go. Labor's silent inflation tax - through bracket creep - will go. Taxes will be lower under a Liberal and Nationals Government.

Australians deserve a fair crack at buying their first home. That is what Labor’s Budget delivers. Combined with our 5 per cent deposit program, we are shifting the scales in favour of aspiring first home buyers. 🏠🏡🏘️🏠🏡🏘️🏠🏡🏘️

@P_bogan @PaulineHansonOz Imagine waking up every morning, checking the news for Pauline Hanson updates like it’s the weather forecast “Today’s outlook: 80% chance of outrage" 🤣

@PaulineHansonOz Thanks Pauline for your stupidity and racism on show every day. Keep it up.

Labor’s budget is a national disgrace and Jim Chalmers has zero shame. Labor didn't have the guts to field a candidate in Farrer and has no no clue what everyday Aussies are furious about. Massive deficits, $1 TRILLION in gross debt next year, $77 BILLION in new taxes, inflation heading to 7%… yet they still lecture young people about “helping” them into homes while interest rates climb to 10%? They’re deaf to the anger over immigration, integration and people who refuse to speak our language or accept Australian values. They’re addicted to net-zero handouts and renewable scams while ignoring our own resources. Last night proved exactly why voters have had enough. Here’s the good news: One Nation just delivered a political earthquake. We smashed it in South Australia and won the seat of Farrer, our first ever House of Representatives seat. The protest party myth is dead. One Nation WILL take Australia back for the majority. We WILL put the next generation first. We WILL end the age of reckless spending, open borders and bribing voters. The message from Farrer is loud: Australians want their country back. Welcome to the team, David Farley for Farrer. Let’s get to work

We're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go. Here’s why.

@AlboMP 35 years ago my mum was paying off a house on a pension. Today, a couple with 2 incomes and the financial discipline of a monk still gets told they’re “one smashed avo away” from owning a home. But relax, the governments that launched the market to the moon have a plan.

Young Australians shouldn't have to rent forever.

We’re making sure hard work pays off and everyone has the opportunity to get ahead. Giving young Australians a fair go at buying their first home. And putting more money in your pocket with tax cuts. Our Budget delivers for you.

@r4dhx @JEChalmers You know you're not talking to Jim right?🤣

@JEChalmers You're a legend Jim. Ignore the RW nuts, you're doing an amazing job and you give me hope for my future as a young adult.

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.
