Jim Chalmers 2022

JIM CHALMERS:

PETER STEFANOVIC:

Let's start off with wages growth. You got some good numbers yesterday, it was starting to inch a little higher though from that low base in 2021. So how much credit do you give the former government for that?

JIM CHALMERS:

MADELEINE MORRIS:

DAVID KOCH:

JIM CHALMERS:

Employment growth in the first six months of the Albanese Government is the strongest for a new Australian Government on record.

New analysis of ABS data shows 234,000 more Australians gained work between May and November last year, with employment growth faster than that of any of the G7 major economies.

BROOKE BONEY:

Acting Prime Minister and Treasurer Jim Chalmers joins us now in Byron Bay. Treasurer, good morning to you. Aussies spent big over Christmas, but it means interest rates are likely to go up again. Will you put pressure on the RBA to slow this down?

JIM CHALMERS:

DANICA DE GIORGIO:

Thank you very much for joining us. Let's start with retail spending - it of course surged over Christmas according to the latest figures. What does that mean for inflation and ultimately interest rates?

JIM CHALMERS:

MICHAEL ROWLAND:

Treasurer Jim Chalmers is in northern New South Wales alongside the Minister for Emergency Management, and he joins us now. Mr Chalmers, good morning to you.

JIM CHALMERS:

Good morning, Michael.
