New figures from the ABS show monthly headline & underlying inflation have both fallen more than expected and are now both in the bottom half of the RBA target band for the first time since August 2021. Very pleasing to see more progress today getting inflation down substantially and sustainably.

Early (frosty!) start to a big day, speaking at the Press Club about how we reform our economy together to make it more productive, dynamic and resilient in the face of all the global uncertainty. We’re lifting living standards and creating more opportunities for more people now and into the future.

Another month of inflation in the Reserve Bank's target band, low unemployment, growing real wages and two interest rate cuts in three months are all encouraging signs we are well placed and well prepared to deal with uncertainty in the global economy. #auspol #ausecon

New figures from the ABS show that headline and underlying inflation remained in the Reserve Bank’s target band in April. This is the longest period that both headline and underlying inflation have been in the band since the monthly inflation series began in 2018. #auspol #ausecon

Good news today with the second interest rate cut in three months. More work to do but welcome relief for millions of Australians. #auspol #ausecon

The two rate cuts in the last three months will save a household with a $500,000 mortgage almost $2,000 a year. This is very welcome relief for millions of Australians. When we came to office three years ago inflation and interest rates were rising and now they’re falling. #auspol #ausecon

Today the RBA Monetary Policy Board decided to lower the cash rate again for the second time in three months. This is very welcome relief for millions of Australians. We are really pleased to see more help for hard working families with a mortgage. #auspol #ausecon

Today's jobs numbers show that for the first time since records began the unemployment rate is in the low 4s while both headline and underlying inflation are in the Reserve Bank's target band. This is another welcome sign of the progress we are making together in our economy. #auspol #ausecon

Real wages are up again in today’s new numbers, for the sixth quarter in a row. That means a year and a half of real wages growth, and now the strongest in five years. Our economic plan is all about more Australians working, earning more and keeping more of what you earn. #auspol

New numbers from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that annual real wages have now grown for a year and a half under the Albanese Labor Government.  Under Labor, more Australians are working, earning more and keeping more of what they earn.  #auspol #ausecon

Voting to build Australia’s future ❤️

Big day of early voting showing my support for Ali France, Renee Coffey and Madonna Jarrett and finishing up where it all begins for me, in our local community. A vote for Labor is a vote to strengthen Medicare, help with the cost of living, and build Australia’s future. Let’s get this done.

The Coalition is going to this election promising higher taxes, savage cuts, and bigger deficits. When Peter Dutton cuts, Australians will pay. #auspol #ausecon

Good news on inflation today. We are making progress under Labor but there’s more work to do. That’s why our cost of living help is so important. #auspol #ausecon

Today's result is a powerful demonstration of the progress that Australians have made together under Labor. Inflation is down, real wages are growing, unemployment is low, we've got the debt down, growth is rebounding solidly in our economy & interest rates have started to come down as well. #auspol

Responsible economic management has been a defining feature of this Albanese Labor Government. We've released our costings, now it's time for Peter Dutton and the Coalition to come clean about their secret costs and savage cuts. #auspol #ausecon @australianlabor.bsky.social

Responsible economic management is a defining feature of our Labor Government. Today Katy Gallagher & I released our costings for the campaign, which show we’ve more than offset our commitments. Now it’s time for Peter Dutton to come clean on his secret cuts to pay for his nuclear reactors. #auspol

Only ten days to go and still Peter Dutton and Angus Taylor won't come clean on their secret cuts to pay for their nuclear reactors, because they will make Australians worse off. #auspol #ausecon

The Albanese Labor Government is delivering immediate and ongoing help with the cost of living, higher wages and lower taxes for every taxpayer. Under Peter Dutton, no ongoing help with the cost of living, higher taxes and lower wages. #auspol #ausecon
