Jim Chalmers 2022

KARL STEFANOVIC, HOST:

Well, with the dire prediction of more super‑sized rate hikes forecast for the coming months, the Treasurer has ordered a review into the Reserve Bank. Jim Chalmers joins us now. Treasurer, good morning to you.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

Good morning, Karl.

STEFANOVIC:

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

KIERAN GILBERT, SUNDAY AGENDA:

Good morning and welcome to Sunday Agenda. Coming up this morning, my interview with the Opposition Leader Peter Dutton from Washington after his talks this past week in the United States. First though, to the G20 in Indonesia, where I spoke to Treasurer Jim Chalmers.

ROSS GREENWOOD, HOST:

PATRICIA KARVELAS, HOST:

Jim Chalmers is the Federal Treasurer. And tomorrow actually, he'll be the Acting Prime Minister as well. Welcome back to the program.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

Thanks for having me back, Patricia.

KARVELAS:

CHRIS SMITH, HOST:

The Albanese Labor Government’s Jobs and Skills Summit will be held at Parliament House in Canberra on 1‑2 September.

The Summit will bring together Australians, including unions, employers, civil society and governments to address our shared economic challenges.

Kia ora. Good morning.

I want to acknowledge the traditional owners and the Indigenous people of both our countries and say again how proud I am that an Albanese Labor Government will implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Kia ora and thanks Greg [Lowe] and Pip [Marlow] for that introduction [ANZLF co‑chairs], and I want to acknowledge the elders and Indigenous people of both our countries.

It is a pleasure to be at the Forum today, particularly as this group has not met in‑person since 2019.

I welcome all our New Zealand friends and colleagues.

HAMISH MACDONALD, HOST:

The Treasurer is Jim Chalmers, good morning to you.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER:

Good morning, Hamish.

MACDONALD:

Could I invite you to respond to what he was saying just there, that the Prime Minister is effectively missing in action?

CHALMERS:
