Thank you Jillian, for that warm welcome and introduction.

To the CSIRO, the Queensland Government, to all major sponsors and partners –

Thanks for making this event happen –

And thanks especially for your role in bringing the World Mining Congress to Australia for the first time –

In my hometown of Brisbane.

EMMA REBELLATO:

The Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, joins us now from Brisbane. Treasurer, good morning to you and welcome to News Breakfast.

JIM CHALMERS:

Thanks Emma.

REBELLATO:

Inflation figures were lower than the previous month, have we turned a corner with inflation?

To make our economy more profitable and prosperous in the future, we need to rethink what it means to be a resources powerhouse – finding new sources of growth in the shift to cleaner, cheaper energy.

This is our big chance to take our current fundamental strengths and use them to create new ones in the defining decade ahead.

Construction on the new Centre for Better Futures at Charles Darwin University’s Casuarina campus began today - backed with more than $10 million from the Albanese Government. 

Thank you Eva for that kind introduction and welcome.

It’s a privilege to be hosted by you, Mike, Ruth and the Property Council here this morning –

An honour to be surrounded by leaders from your government, industries, universities –

And a real joy to be back in Darwin again.
