Interview with Michael Rowland and Lisa Millar, ABC News Breakfast
Date
MICHAEL ROWLAND:
But first, the federal government will today start its campaign to convince Australians that it's done the right thing by halving the stage 3 tax cuts for the highest earners to deliver more tax relief to what the Prime Minister is dubbing middle Australia.
LISA MILLAR:
Interview with Laura Tingle, 7.30, ABC
Date
LAURA TINGLE:
Treasurer, thanks for joining us tonight. We won't officially know until tomorrow what the government's proposed tax package looks like, but we can say now that the pledge to keep the stage three tax cuts is now out the window. That's obviously a huge political call. Why should voters trust the government's promises in the future?

SALLY SARA:
The Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is my guest this morning. Treasurer, welcome back to Breakfast.
JIM CHALMERS:
Good to be back on your show.

The World Bank forecasts aren't exactly rosy. How concerned are you?
CHALMERS:
Welcome progress in the fight against inflation
Date
Today’s Monthly Consumer Price Index indicator shows that inflation further moderated to 4.3 per cent in the 12 months to November 2023, down from 4.9 per cent in October.
These new inflation figures show we are making welcome and encouraging progress in this inflation challenge, and the Government’s policies are helping, but the fight is far from over.
