CHARLES CROUCHER:

Treasurer, welcome to the traditional pre‑Budget interview.

JIM CHALMERS:

Thanks, Charles.

CROUCHER:

You've said all along that this Budget will be targeted at the most vulnerable in the country, I'm interested in how you judge who is the most vulnerable.

JIM CHALMERS:

This will be a responsible Budget for Australians doing it tough. It has three main goals, which is to provide responsible cost‑of‑living relief in a targeted way for the most vulnerable, but also lay the foundations for future growth in our economy all at the same time as we put the Budget on a much more sustainable footing.

MARK RILEY:

Treasurer, thanks for joining us on Weekend Sunrise.

JIM CHALMERS:

Thanks, Mark.

RILEY:

Are we going to see a revenue windfall in this Budget? And if so, where is it coming from?

CHALMERS:

KIERAN GILBERT:

Welcome back to the program. Joining me live in the studio now is the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers.

Treasurer, thanks for your time. You've announced this change to the PRRT for gas ‑ basically LNG. You've consulted with the industry, are you expecting them to cop it or push back on this?

JIM CHALMERS:

The Albanese Government will introduce changes to the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT) to deliver a fairer return to the Australian community from their natural resources.

JIM CHALMERS:

NATALIE BARR:

The man in charge of our nation's economic future is the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, and he joins me now. Good morning to you.

JIM CHALMERS:

Morning Nat.

BARR:

Now the rate decision has been called cruel, it has been called unnecessary. Do you agree?

CHALMERS:
