Jim Chalmers 2022

The Albanese Government has appointed Mary Reemst to the Future Fund Board of Guardians for a five‑year term.

Ms Reemst worked for the Macquarie Group for more than two decades, including seven years as Chief Executive Officer and 11 years as the Global Head of Credit.

She previously held senior investment banking roles at Bankers Trust Australia.

The concept of full employment is not just central to our Employment White Paper, Working Future, it is a cornerstone of the Albanese Government’s entire approach.

Thanks Caitlin Byrne for the generous introduction.

To my friend Cindy Shannon, thanks for the opportunity to work so closely with you on behalf of the students of the Logan campus we both represent – and for sharing culture with us on the lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people tonight.

JIM CHALMERS:

The Albanese Government is today releasing draft legislation on the announced change to superannuation tax concessions to make the system fairer and more sustainable.
