ADAM STEER:

We might leave Dan Sultan there and we’ll get to Jim Chalmers, the Federal Treasurer. Mr Chalmers good morning.

JIM CHALMERS:

Good morning Adam, I feel bad cutting off the great man, Dan Sultan.

KATIE WOOLF:

Joining us on the line is the Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers. Good morning to you, Treasurer.

JIM CHALMERS:

Good morning, Katie. How's your training going?

WOOLF:

The Albanese Government is consulting on detailed proposals that will help Australian companies and investors to maximise economic opportunities in the shift to cheaper, cleaner, and more reliable energy, and to manage climate risks.

PATRICIA KARVELAS:

Jim Chalmers is the Treasurer and he's in our Parliament House studio right here with me. Welcome back, Treasurer.

JIM CHALMERS:

Thanks very much, Patricia.

JIM CHALMERS:

The Government is helping to supercharge Australia’s small and medium businesses with the delivery of more than $1.5 billion in new tax incentives.

The Parliament has today passed legislation to introduce two new tax incentives that support small and medium businesses to train and upskill employees and improve their digital and tech capacity.

The Albanese Government has now completed the design of the Mandatory Gas Code of Conduct (Gas Code), following close engagement with gas users and producers.

The Gas Code will ensure Australian gas is available for Australian users at reasonable prices, give producers the certainty they need to invest in supply, and ensure LNG producers meet their export commitments.

SHAYNE NEUMANN:

Kia ora.

Here, in Tamaki Makaurau, I want to pay my respects to the traditional custodians of this land, and all the First Nations people of our two great countries.

This year, in Australia, we have the chance to move forward and make right with a vote for a Voice in our constitution for those who were the first to walk our lands –
