Jim Chalmers 2022

JOURNALIST:

Treasurer, are you going to be extending the fuel tax reduction?

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

CHARLES CROUCHER, HOST:

ROSS GREENWOOD, HOST:

I caught up with the Treasurer late this week and asked him whether Australia would avoid recession.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

WALEED ALY, HOST:

Let's start with point three of your plan: the repairing of the supply chain. Given how much of the problem is due to pandemic disruptions overseas, even the war in Ukraine, what can you sitting in Canberra really do to fix that?

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

GREG JENNETT, HOST:

Welcome back to our studio. Question one: where is the plan? The demand from Angus Taylor is show us the plan. We're all waiting until October for now, I take it.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

SARAH FERGUSON, HOST:

Treasurer, Welcome to 7.30.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

Thanks very much Sarah.

FERGUSON:

No government in a generation has faced this level of inflation. Do you simply have to trust the Reserve Bank not to push the Australian people to the brink?

CHALMERS:

KIM LANDERS, HOST:

Treasurer, how much strife is Australia's economy in?

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

Speaker –

Australians are overwhelmingly optimistic and confident people.

Our optimism, and that confidence, is well‑founded – because it rests on our ability to navigate difficult times together, and emerge stronger.

Australians know their government changed hands at a time of instability, uncertainty and volatility – around the world and at home.

JOURNALIST:

How are you going to fix inflation?

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

PETER STEFANOVIC, HOST:

Joining us is the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, but before we get to the Treasurer, the Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor spoke a short time ago calling on Jim Chalmers to come up with a plan.

ANGUS TAYLOR, SHADOW TREASURER:
