Jim Chalmers 2022

New Treasury data shows that the Albanese Government’s reforms to streamline and strengthen our foreign investment framework are already delivering results.

These reforms are all about attracting the investment our economy needs while protecting our national interest.

The Albanese Government is partnering with investors and philanthropic organisations to enhance access to capital for social enterprises that provide jobs for disadvantaged Australians.

This is all about helping people who are doing it tough to get a great job and get ahead.
