Supporting and fast tracking important investments in biofuels and electric heavy vehicles is all about making our supply chains more reliable and our economy stronger and more resilient.

For too long the intersection of the housing market and the tax system has shut whole generations of Australians out of the dream of home ownership. That’s why we’re leveling the playing field to help more young people buy a home of their own.

This week and this government is all about higher wages and lower taxes for workers, and a fair go for first homebuyers.

Covered a lot of ground with Tom McIlroy and Patrick Commins on The Guardian Full Story podcast, including housing and tax reform and the economic context and priorities underpinning the Budget.

We're doubling penalties, ramping up surveillance of suspicious fuel price spikes, and helping industry and regulators coordinate supply to regional areas.

Thanks to Michael and the team at Bunnings for meeting with Ged Kearney and me this week. Really busy end to the week consulting with CEOs and workers in fuel, supermarkets, technology, logistics, mining, banking and building supplies sectors about the fallout from conflict in the Middle East.

Our Budget makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations. We're responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities.

A very busy week finalising the Budget with the team. It will be a really responsive Budget, all about resilience and reform.

Labor won’t cop big fuel corporates and servos treating Australians like mugs.

Labor is halving the fuel excise which will cut 26.3c a litre off the cost of petrol and diesel, and dropping the heavy vehicle road user charge to zero.

The Treasury should introduce an alcohol duty escalator, targeting off-trade alcohol, to help fund alcohol treatment and narrow the widening gap in price between supermarket and pub alcohol, says Labour MP @catsmithmp.bsky.social. @dantomlinson.bsky.social @aha-uk.bsky.social

How can you tell how old that white pine tree is — and how can that reveal some mysteries about a forest’s history? NOTE: some of the southern pines, like loblolly pine, are “multinodal” — capable of producing more than one whorl of branches per year. #forest #trees #nature #science #history

An entirely new security equation will be needed after this war. Won't be easy. GCC dependency on the US is partly why they're in this dire situation. Finding a new relationship with Iran will be difficult, given Iran's attacks. But there is no other way: geography is permanent.

Zionist settlers installed screens in a square to watch the ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon, as if it were a soccer match, cheering every bomb that explodes against the homes of Lebanese families. These psychos did similar in Gaza, this flaunting of genocide is not normal.
