Opinion piece: Responsible economic management key to our entire agenda

I want to bring in Treasurer Jim Chalmers now who joins us live from Canberra. Good morning to you, Treasurer. You're a Queenslander. We've seen some pretty wild scenes in that state overnight. Are you looking at any federal government support to flow there, particularly to those tourist towns like Port Douglas and Mossman that have really been hit?

2023-24 Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook
The 2023‑24 Mid‑Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook (MYEFO) is all about responsible economic management because that’s the best way to put downward pressure on inflation and ease cost‑of‑living pressures.
This responsible economic management has helped engineer an historic turnaround in the Budget position, but we know there’s more work to do.
