Jim Chalmers 2022

In the interests of time, I’ll only speak for about 45 minutes if that’s okay. [laughter] My job is really to wrap today up and so I won’t speak at any great length, but really to say that the progress that we’ve made today, and the contributions that people have made today, have been exactly why we brought you together.

LAURA JAYES:

NATASHA EXELBY:

Treasurer, a very busy day for you so thank you for your time. There is a lot riding on what transpires over the next two days. What are you hoping to achieve and what’s your yardstick on whether you have achieved it?

JIM CHALMERS:

DAVID KOCH:

Treasurer, morning to you ‑ a bit to get through. Before we get on to the Jobs Summit, this change in the isolation period. First up, was it in order to get people back to work sooner?

JIM CHALMERS:

PETER STEFANOVIC:

Joining us live from Canberra is the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers. Treasurer, good morning to you. You've got that agreement that's already been reached between big business and the unions on workplace relations and moves to overhaul the BOOT. So, how will you ultimately decide to make that BOOT simpler?

JIM CHALMERS:

KARL STEFANOVIC:

Anthony Albanese has been blasted for a union‑heavy Jobs and Skills Summit, the two-day event kicking off today. The minimum wage, lowering the working age to 13 and jobs for pensioners are all part of the agenda. Let’s bring in Treasurer Jim Chalmers in Canberra this morning.

LISA MILLAR:

Well, for more, we’re joined now by Treasurer Jim Chalmers from Parliament House. Good morning to you. Are you feeling the pressure?

JIM CHALMERS:

Thanks, PM.

Thank you, Helen.

And thank you, Paul, for your characteristically kind and generous Welcome to these Ngunnawal and Ngambri lands – for tens of thousands of years a place to meet and to settle differences.
