Real pleasure to sit down with Alan Kohler for the first episode of his new podcast That’s Business. We covered a lot of ground: consequences for our economy and our budget from the war in the Middle East, the energy transformation as a matter of national security, and the technological revolution

We understand Australians are under pressure and that’s why we are working hard to address issues in fuel markets, rolling out cost of living relief including two more tax cuts, and managing the budget in a responsible way.

Labor is delivering five tax cuts in three different ways. Tomorrow we’ll introduce historic legislation to deliver more tax cuts to Australian workers. If the Coalition votes against our tax cuts, they will be voting – yet again - for higher income taxes for millions of Australian workers.

This will be an ambitious budget framed by an ambitious government, in difficult and uncertain times.

The Reserve Bank is ending surcharges on credit and debit cards from October, getting rid of fees which annoy a lot of Australians.

Today NZ Finance Minister Nicola Willis and I convened leaders from some of the industries hardest hit by disruptions to fuel and energy supply chains, including representatives from the aviation, agriculture, banking, food and grocery, and transport sectors.

Labor is helping to deliver a secure retirement for more than a million Australians with our increase to the low-income superannuation tax offset.

We're not immune from global instability but we’re confronting these challenges from a position of genuine relative economic strength - with faster growth, stronger jobs growth and lower debt than every major advanced economy.

Really encouraging numbers out today showing ongoing recovery in the private sector, with our economy having the strongest annual growth in almost three years.

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.

I am honored to have earned the personal trust and support of the former Mayor of Irvine, Sukhee Kang. We both served in the federal government as presidential appointees under former President Joe Biden, and share priorities rooted in efficiency, transparency, and government accountability.

Happy Trump Taco Tuesday to all those who celebrate! Trump has raised your prices for a war in Iran and what did we get from it?! Trump agreeing to Iran’s 10 point plan and letting Iran turn the straight of Hormuz into a toll road. The Trump Presidency is a joke.

Lopez has contributed well in his time with the Rangers. Can’t imagine he sticks once Seager is ready (unless Texas is willing to DFA Haggerty), but this is a great audition for him for later in the season when another club has a need.

Can't WAIT to hear him chum it up with Wemby. 🤣 Guillermo from 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' is out in San Antonio for the NBA Finals, and it's the best. 🤠
