Jim Chalmers 2022

The Albanese Labor Government is delivering more real, practical and ongoing help with the cost of living for Australians, with more support set to roll out a week from today.

This is more responsible, meaningful hip pocket help for households.

Isabella Higgins:

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has outlined his ambition to implement bold tax reforms. In a major speech, he declared he didn’t want to engage in a rule‑in‑rule‑out game. He says everything is on the table ahead of a key economic roundtable in August. He joined me a short time ago.

Mark Kenny:

G’day there and welcome to Democracy Sausage from the Australian National University. I’m Mark Kenny director of ANU’s Australian Studies Institute and I’m delighted to welcome back to Democracy Sausage federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers. G’day there Jim.

Jim Chalmers:

Michelle Grattan:

Tom Connell:

Thanks Tom for the introduction, and to the board, sponsors and journalists for this welcome opportunity to be back again at the Press Club today.

We begin by acknowledging the customs, culture and elders of the Ngunnawal people.

Sally Sara:

Rising tension between Israel and Iran is seeing a growing number of Australians reaching out for help to leave the Middle East as the escalating conflict also fuels concerns about potential worldwide economic impacts.

Jim Chalmers:

Given the deteriorating and concerning situation in the Middle East, it’s not surprising that President Trump has left the G7 early. It’s understandable given the situation in the Middle East.

Kieran Gilbert:

Let’s bring in live the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers here in the studio. This is not ideal. The Prime Minister has gone to the G7. He wants to get that face‑to‑face time with Donald Trump. It’s not happening.

Jim Chalmers:

Patricia Karvelas:

I want to bring in the Treasurer, Jim Chalmers. And today marked the beginning of the appointment of new Treasury Secretary, Jenny Wilkinson. Treasurer, welcome to the program.

Jim Chalmers:

Thanks very much, Patricia.
