Chalmers does not rule out concessions to get super taxes across the entire production line

Jim Chalmers Addressed the need to work with Crossbench to pass the Labor Party’s pension tax scheme. ABC's Sally Sara asked the administration whether it offered a "challenge or private" agreement and ruled out concessions from the Green Party on the matter. Chalmers told RN breakfast:

We do not have the Senate number to pass legislation alone. In this case, we need to interact with the cross board in particular. I plan to do this.

…However, our preference is our intention to legislate the plans we announced nearly two years ago.

The Treasurer said he would "respect" to engage with cross-tables, noting that there were also many "disunity" in the alliance when it comes to tax increases.

Chalmers said despite GDP figures

Treasurer Jim Chalmers It was said this morning that despite yesterday's news that the country's GDP was still in a good place for the first three months of 2025, citing lower inflation, increased real wages and lower interest rates.

The Australian Economic Story is a very compelling story. The economy continues to grow, our inflation rate is lower, real wages and income are growing, interest rates are starting to fall, and our debt is lowering budgets. Therefore, in most cases, Australia's economic performance is relatively better than the rest of the world.

This is true even modest growth in these global situations. We do have a global economy characterized by uncertainty, volatility and unpredictability.

Boele said she realized she won when the press conference was held immediately after the announcement:

I stood in front of the camera and the term “Nicolat MP Bradfield” appeared. At that moment, I thought, “Wow, not just the candidate, but the elected”, and it really started to become one of the greatest honors of my life.

Liberal candidate, Captain Giselle, She has not admitted it yet - she said in a statement that she will "review" the original counts and recaps. Whether she tried to find a reason to bring the result to the controversial court for returns said it was “a question for her.”

Shadow Treasury says Labour's super tax plan focuses on "despicable ideas"

Shadow Treasurer, Ted O'Brien, The Labor Party’s plan to increase taxes by more than $3 million in large pension balances will be “absolute disaster.” O'Brien spoke about the National Broadcast Breakfast this morning in a political brawl over the proposal, saying any tax on unrealized gains was a "shocking idea":

We believe taxes are lower. We believe taxation is simpler. We believe taxes are fairer. …

This crosses the red line of Australian tax laws. This is definitely a disaster. …Where did you go? Will the labor force start taxing capital gains on your primary residence? We don't want that bar. This is not good at all.

Deputy liberal leader O'Brien went on to say he would like to see "the whole bill was scrapped", but that "probably not happening."

Matt Kean tells fossil fuel-friendly MPs to stop “stop our country from coming back”

Matt Kean Regarding why Climate Action made sense when he gave a Talbert speech at Sydney’s Australian Museum on Wednesday night.

"An opponents of climate action will not give up, even if their parties are hammered by elections," said the chairman of the Climate Change Agency and the NSW Free Energy Minister in comments by the Union MPs and a few others, but urged Australians to ignore "the main task of skeptics appears to be the main task of extending the life of the mass fuel fuel industry"

For politicians who are still providing cover for vested interests, I say get out of the situation. Stop stopping our country, stop stopping your political party. Try to act in national interest, or follow the low path of political forgetting.

Keen Quote André Corrêado Lago,,,,, The Brazilian diplomat will host this year's COP30 UN climate summit on Amazon and told the Guardian last week that ambitious steps against ambitious measures to resolve the climate crisis are now largely "scientific denial" but "economic denial."

"Economics is also consistent with science, which helps," Kean said.

As an American energy innovator Hal Harvey Say, “It’s cheaper to save the earth now than to destroy it.” Investors are charging trillions of dollars for decarbonized economies. Even so, we must remain realistic about the scale of future tasks.
