CANBERRA, ACT, June 23 -- The Prime Minister of Australia issued the following media release:

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Thank you so much for joining us. Our tax reforms will make it easier for Australians to buy their first home and they'll cut taxes for every Australian worker. Our tax reforms give support to small business. And we will amend our legislation to give every active small business generous capital gains tax concessions. Our tax reforms will give better alignment for income earned from work with income earned from assets and wealth. Most Australians have nothing to sell but their time. Nothing to give but their hard work. And that's how they earn an income. That's how they put food on the table. And we want those people, those hard-working Australians, to have the opportunity to own their own home.

Today we have secured support to get this legislation through the Parliament with the majority of senators. I expect that just as the three right-wing parties have opposed every one of our tax cuts, every pay rise for workers, every cost of living measure, every policy to build more homes and help more people buy a first home, they will oppose these measures and continue in their race to the bottom to see who can be more anti-aspirational, more anti-worker and confirm that they're defined purely by what they're against. My government is defined by what we are in favour of. Delivering real change in the national interest, making difficult decisions, but so that Australia can move forward. We'll continue to be defined by that. These reforms are important. They're a result of an ambitious Budget that was handed down in the interests of the Australian people. We'll hear from the Treasurer, then the Health Minister, then the Manager of Government Business in the Senate and Finance Minister and then we'll take questions.

JIM CHALMERS, TREASURER: Thanks, PM. This is a really important day for tax reform in this country. I wanted to acknowledge the Prime Minister's leadership on tax reform, his support throughout for these difficult changes, and also the work that Katy Gallagher and Mark Butler have contributed to this really important development today. Economic reform is never easy, especially tax reform, but it's worth it when you're delivering that real change that the Prime Minister has been referring to. The passage of these bills will mean a fair go for first home buyers, tax cuts for workers and a fairer tax system as well. And that's what today is all about. Now, every time there's major tax reform in this country, it involves multiple pieces of legislation and consultation. And that's what we're seeing here as well. But what this will mean is that the major elements of our ambitious tax reforms will be in place once this passes both houses of the Parliament. We will be moving amendments as we flagged, the Prime Minister and I flagged, in Sydney on Thursday, a series of amendments that the government will be moving, whether it's increasing the small business turnover threshold to make sure that 100 per cent of the 2.7 million active small businesses have got access to concessions and carve outs, the implementation details for charitable donations, income support payments, the calculation of the Working Australians Tax Offset and also removing those ministerial powers where that is necessary and where those powers are not necessary for us to retain them.

There is also, agreed with The Greens in the Senate that we will take an additional step when it comes to limited recourse borrowing arrangements. Now, many of you would know that super funds are, generally, are prohibited from borrowing to make investments, but this has been an exception in the system. And so the changes that we've agreed today will strengthen the rules that limit borrowing by superannuation funds. We will ban these arrangements for residential property going forward, but we will leave the existing arrangements in place for those existing investments and also have a 45 day transition period for any investments which are currently midstream, and that's important as well. In 2014, David Murray, in the review that he led for the Coalition, recommended that these arrangements be banned. In 2019 and 2022, the Council of Financial Regulators also highlighted the risks in these arrangements and we will be dealing with that with this amendment in the Senate. This is a very small part of the housing market. SMSFs, for example, are less than one per cent of total residential property borrowing and less than half a per cent of new residential borrowing each year. So, a small part of the market. Now, this is an important change in its own right, but it also reflects the realities of a Senate where nobody has the numbers on their own. And that's why we are willing to support these arrangements today, the changes to these arrangements today. I'll hand you to Mark and then to Katy.

MARK BUTLER, MINISTER FOR HEALTH: Thank you, Jim. Thank you, Prime Minister, and to Katy for the work that's been undertaken. Obviously alongside this landmark tax reform package, the other major element of this year's Budget was a comprehensive package to get the NDIS back on track and secure it for the long term. Immediately after the Budget, the government unsurprisingly commissioned a Senate inquiry to allow submissions to be made about the package I'd announced some weeks earlier and allow some public hearings. And we've obviously been monitoring that evidence very, very closely. As I said when I announced this package down at the Press Club, big change in an area like this is often very confronting and some of the evidence that we heard from the inquiry was, was obviously confronting as well. But the government remains convinced that this is absolutely the right package for the NDIS itself and most importantly, for participants now and into the future, who will rely upon this enormously important social program being secured for the future.

It was obviously pretty clear to us as we came back to Parliament that it was going to be next to impossible to have this bill dealt with over the course of this fortnight. The Opposition had indicated, in spite of some encouraging comments from the Leader of the Opposition in his Budget Reply speech, that they were looking at a six month delay to this bill being dealt with in the Parliament. Let me be clear, a six month extension would cost the Budget billions of dollars, but would also delay our ability to get those cost blowouts under control, to clear up eligibility rules and to crack down on the fraud and the integrity issues that the community knows are there with the NDIS. And that is why we have agreed to an extension of this inquiry that's been underway for the last several weeks, for another eight weeks to report on 14 August. This is another opportunity for us to provide ongoing reassurances about our intentions around this package and the degree to which this is an important reform to secure the long term future of this important social program. We've also agreed to a series of amendments in areas that we'd been considering over the course of this inquiry to make it very clear what support determinations would be able to be made and restricting them only to social activity and therapy areas, making sure that there is no impact on the ability of participants to continue to engage in employment. Also to clarify what appropriate treatment might be that we would expect participants or applicants for the scheme to undertake before they would be considered for entry into the scheme, particularly to ensure that that does not involve any restrictive practices and also only considers treatment that would be publicly funded. So, this is obviously, as Jim said, a reflection of the realities in the Senate. We think this reform is the right direction for the country. We think reform is urgent and needs to be considered by the Parliament immediately after this report is delivered on the 14th of August. But there obviously was not, there was not a pathway to consider this bill over the course of this fortnight.

KATY GALLAGHER, MANAGER OF GOVERNMENT BUSINESS IN THE SENATE: Thank you, and I thank the PM and Treasurer for their leadership on tax reform and for finalising the negotiations around the passage of those important reforms through the Senate, and also to Minister Butler for working with us throughout that on the NDIS, and handling of the NDIS Bill. So, at 12 o'clock today, when the bells ring, we will move a motion which basically facilitates the passage of a range of legislation, but including the Tax Reform Bills that will pass, and we will have those bills finalised by the end of this sitting week. These have been, you know, appreciate the negotiations we've had right across the Chamber. As you all know, nothing gets done in the Senate without deep negotiations. That's been the same for these bills and for this end of session passage of a number of other important bills. So, we appreciate that. We appreciate the engagement we've had with all, but in particular with the Greens for securing this important motion that will pass the Senate after 12 o'clock today.

JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, what impact does the changes to the NDIS, the delay in the handing down, the passage of this bill have on the Budget, and does that give you enough time to get the States and Territories on board?

PRIME MINISTER: We've been working constructively with states and territories and we'll continue to do so. There will be a relatively small cost of it not being passed in June in this sitting fortnight, but that's why we will aim at getting the bills passed soon after the Senate reports on the 14th of August. We have a Senate that we have to deal with -

JOURNALIST:Prime Minister -

PRIME MINISTER:We have a Senate that we have to deal with, and that is precisely what we're doing.

JOURNALIST: Just with the lived experience of people in a disability community when they're giving evidence to that inquiry, would you commit to consider making significant changes to the bill if that's what you're hearing from the disability community?

PRIME MINISTER: I'll ask Mark to comment. But let's be very clear - Labor created the NDIS. We support the NDIS. We want to strengthen and make sure that the NDIS is sustainable. That's why we're making these changes. Very clearly, when we came to office, the NDIS was growing at an annual rate of 22 per cent. That is not sustainable. What we want to make sure is that reform occurs so that everyone who needs the support of the NDIS with a disability receives the support that they need, but so that we get rid of and deal with some of the waste and anomalies which are there, which don't assist people with disabilities, but which assist, in some cases, some unscrupulous people who have exploited the situation. We want to make sure that they get the support that they need.

MINISTER BUTLER: Thanks, Prime Minister. Obviously, our entire approach to the NDIS, including the reform package, has people with disability right at the centre. That has been the central philosophy of this scheme. And while the inquiry is going on, Jenny McAllister, I and many members of government are obviously engaging with people with disability to help to explain the government's reasoning behind this package and to dispel some of the misapprehensions about what it's going to mean for participants. And the extra eight weeks of the hearing will provide us with more opportunity to do that. To your question about States, even though this inquiry will continue and the bill won't be dealt with in the Parliament until August, we're getting on with the job. We're continuing to do work with States. There was a Disability Ministers Meeting on Friday that was very productive and very constructive. We'll announce soon the membership of the Technical Advisory Group that will advise not just the Commonwealth, but the States and Territories as well, about a new functional capacity assessment regime for eligibility. There's a lot of work for us to continue to do and we'll start doing that now. We've already started it. We're not going to sit on our hands while the other eight weeks of inquiry continues underway.

JOURNALIST: The Greens said that they want to delay the bill as long as possible. They said they still wouldn't support it even when it returns to a vote in the Senate. With the deal that was struck today, are those, even if the Greens don't support the bill, is the deal struck, locked in? And have you given that guarantee through the Greens?

PRIME MINISTER: Not quite sure what all that means, but the Greens have not supported reform that's necessary for NDIS. So, they've said that the whole way through. The Coalition have said and the three right-wing parties have all said they oppose any tax cuts, they oppose any reform. That's as it has always been. That's what they've done for the last four years. And so there's different positions that they have. There was an attempt to bring that together, to block everything. We've ensured that that hasn't happened.

JOURNALIST: As Minister Butler referenced, the inquiry heard that the changes would result in people dying, that they would be isolated from their communities. Is the government pushing ahead with the reform because it does not believe that will be the case?

MINISTER BUTLER: I don't accept the characterisation that you've made and that others have made. We've obviously designed these reforms very carefully. The focus, for example, on social activity budgets, means that those budgets that deliver core supports to people, their accommodation needs, their activities of daily living, help with feeding and showering, their employment arrangements, their travel to medical appointments, all of that is entirely quarantined from this reform process. So, as I said, I get that these are big and confronting changes for participants and a lot of the evidence has reflected that degree of anxiety that I always expected would be there within the disability community. Our job is to reassure those participants, their families and others who care deeply about this scheme that this is necessary reform. It's hard reform. But I'm not going to sugarcoat the fact that big change needs to happen to the NDIS. We've designed that change very carefully to ensure those sorts of risks that you just described are not there. They're simply not there. So, I don't accept that characterisation.

JOURNALIST: On this same topic, Minister, you said in your opening preamble that some of the evidence to the committee already has been confronting. You're talking about extending the inquiry here for eight more weeks. You would imagine that there would be more evidence of the inquiry that maybe goes along some of these similar lines. You're talking about reassuring the disability community, people who are on the NDIS that some of these, some of these claims are unfounded and so forth. A number of leading think tanks, Grattan Institute, the Labor-led Human Rights Committee, have made separate findings here. Are you reassuring people as well that this is the final form of the legislation or is this eight week extension also going to include the potential for further amendments, further negotiations on the final form?

MINISTER BUTLER: Look, as I've said before, the direction of travel here that I announced at the Press Club, I'm convinced is the right package of reforms. I mean, there are some minor changes at the edges that we've already announced over the course of this morning to particularly clarify our intention and to provide reassurance to people about what is going to change and what is not going to change. But I'm utterly convinced that the package of reform that we worked on for months, frankly, here in government and through the Expenditure Review Committee led by the three colleagues with me, is the right package of changes -

JOURNALIST: Why so many leading organisations, so many experts in this field disagreeing with that assessment?

MINISTER BUTLER: Well, I get that this is hard change and people are concerned about the impact it's going to have on participants. Our job is to clarify exactly what that impact will be. There will be an impact in areas like social activity budgets. I've been upfront about that from the time I was there at the Press Club. It has been growing far too fast from $4 billion five years ago to $12 billion this year. So, as much as we spend on the entire Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, projected to rise to close to $20 billion by the end of this decade. That is simply not a sustainable position for us to be in. So, we're going to focus on getting that back under control, return that budget to where it was last year in 2025, still about three times where it was five years ago, but allow us to protect those core supports that people do rely upon for their activities of daily living, their engagement with the health sector, their engagement with employment and their safety. We have protected those core supports because we understand just how critical they are for participants.

JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, the Commonwealth Ombudsman has raised some concerns about automated decision making in the bill. Can you guarantee that this won't lead to a repeat of the Robodebt scandal? And what's your message to the CEO of the NDIA, which is one of the most complained about federal agencies?

MINISTER BUTLER: Well, we've been very clear, both in my second reading speech in the explanatory memorandum, that we are treading very carefully into any use of automated decision making as you describe it, Dana. Obviously we're taking advice from a range of bodies like the one that you've mentioned. I've made it very clear that any use of ADM would be simply about administrative processes, certainly not about anything more substantive than that. There is, as you know, underway a whole-of-government approach to automated decision making. So, we're stepping sort of very carefully into this space. This is obviously an incredibly complex, large program. Some level of automation of some administrative processes is pretty unremarkable in government today. But we've been very careful to provide reassurance, not just to bodies like that, but more importantly to participants, that this is very much administrative in nature and will continue, obviously, to be informed by the whole-of-government processes.

JOURNALIST: Do you know the median price of a unit in your own electorate, Prime Minister? And do you know how much that's sort of grown over recent years and the prices that young people are facing trying to buy a house in, say, Marrickville?

PRIME MINISTER: What I know is prices in Marrickville have increased substantially. And right throughout my area, but right throughout the whole country, that has occurred. But what we are doing here is, I talked to someone last weekend who was able to be successful at an auction that previously they'd almost given up on. That's a fantastic thing. That's what these reforms are aimed at doing. That's what they're aimed at.

JOURNALIST: Do you know how much they pay -

PRIME MINISTER: Well, it's not to me to disclose how much individuals pay for homes.

JOURNALIST: It's nearly $1 million. Do you think that should come down? Do you think that's affordable for a young person to be able to buy a unit in Marrickville?

PRIME MINISTER: Well, it depends on what their income is. It depends on all of their status, which is there. So, people are - we want to give young people a fair crack at owning their own home. That is what these are aimed at doing. The evidence is, people are coming forward and indeed, through our Caucus, countless examples of people saying, we got a fair crack for the first time. That's a good thing.

JOURNALIST: Perhaps a related note, we are seeing auction clearance rates at the lowest they've been in years in Melbourne and Sydney. We're seeing some property prices fall. That is concerning for older Australians who are looking to sell in the near term to fund their retirement. Were you anticipating that property prices would fall? And what can you offer to those people looking to sell and retire on their earnings in the near term, assurances for them?

TREASURER: Thanks, Mel. Well, the Treasury assumption in the Budget is that house prices will continue to grow, but about 2 per cent more slowly than they would otherwise. It's important to remember that whether you're talking about house prices or about auction clearance rates, we were seeing some of them begin to soften even before the Budget. And that's because there are a number of factors at play when it comes to auctions and when it comes to house prices, including movements in interest rates, global and domestic economic conditions, and also tax settings as well. And so, some of that direction was already set before the Budget. Our goal is to make sure that there are more affordable options for more people, particularly young people, to get a toehold in a housing market which has been too difficult for too long. We're not targeting a particular percentage or a particular price outcome. Our goal, as the Prime Minister said, is to stop subsidising people who go to auctions and compete and beat, compete against and beat first home buyers. For too long now, first home buyers have been squeezed out of a market which is becoming more and more difficult for them. And that's the motivation behind the contested and contentious changes that we will pass through both houses of Parliament this week.

PRIME MINISTER: Jacob.

JOURNALIST: That'll be the third ABC question in a row, Prime Minister.

PRIME MINISTER: Whatever, we -

JOURNALIST: Pigeons won't be your only risk.

PRIME MINISTER: Oh, well, you know, given some of the poor old SBS won't be here, as some people have said so.

MINISTER BUTLER: A question actually for the Treasurer. What's the fiscal impact of the super change that you've agreed to today? And if this was such an important loophole that people were going to take advantage of, why didn't you close it when you announced the Budget package on the night?

TREASURER: Yeah, a couple of things about that, Jake. This is a worthy change, an important change, but it also reflects the realities in the Senate. Nobody's got a majority on their own and so we engage in these negotiations. Again, I thank particularly Katy and Anthony for that. When it comes to the fiscal impact, we anticipate something like a $50 million positive impact over the forward estimates, but we will square that away properly in the usual way in the mid-year budget update. You would be aware and others would be aware that we have supported different versions of this in the past. We took seriously the recommendation from David Murray, hardly a scorched-earth left wing revolutionary, who said in 2014 that we should ban these. We've examined those recommendations before and from the Council of Financial Regulators. And so, we think this is an important change in its own right. It's a little bit different to the proposal that we took to the 2019 election. In 2019, we were applying it more broadly on this occasion just to residential property. So, a different proposal with similar objectives and a worthy proposal which reflects the realities of the Parliament.

JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, Pauline Hanson this morning again said she wanted Australia to become a monoculture and she evidenced Japan as a successful example of a monoculture. I want to know what you think about Australia becoming a monoculture, using Japan as a template and what effect that might have on the nation.

PRIME MINISTER: Modern Australia is not a monoculture and it never has been. Indeed, under pre-1770 and then 1788, there were many First Nations in this country. And since then, I think our diversity as a nation is a strength. You know, the fact that in the last month, yesterday, Sunday, I was at an Assyrian function, it was a wonderful function in southwestern Sydney. You know, should that be allowed to happen? Should, you know, the functions that I've been at and met with community organisations, including I'll be meeting, I think next week with again or it's scheduled with members of the Chabad community who were here during the last parliamentary sittings, members of the Jewish Orthodox community who are here. Is that okay in Australia? We had from the arrival of the First Fleet, not everyone was one. There were some in chains and some who were in charge of the people in chains. There were Catholics and Protestants. We have had a rich culture, and when we look at the Socceroos, we see examples of that rich culture. People who are proud of their ethnicity, of who they are, but also who are proud Australians and representing our great nation and the whole country will be cheering them on on Friday at 12 o'clock. And I hope that the country stops for a little bit during that time. It's who we are. So, it's really a nonsense argument to go back to something that was actually never there. And I think that it's an example of policies and a vision for the country that isn't thought through, that doesn't represent who we are in 2026. And in 2026, what Australia needs, like the rest of the world needs, is governments that take us forward. There are big challenges in this country like there are around the world that the Government's grappling with, artificial intelligence, what it means for the nature of work, what it means for how we move forward. We won't move forward if we get stuck in these cultural debates that are all aimed at dividing people. Let's be clear, that's what it's aimed at. I aim to unite the country and to bring it forward.

JOURNALIST: Prime Minister, mining exploration companies who are the ones that you'll need to get the critical minerals agenda that you want happening, the capital gains tax changes are going to hurt them, and they don't believe that the definition of an innovative business in the preferred model for the further changes will include them. Understand Roger Cook conveyed this same message to you yesterday. How are you looking on that argument from the junior miners?

PRIME MINISTER: Look, we're consulting. There's a discussion paper out there. And I make this point that something that was never done by any government, before our government and before this Treasurer put it in the Budget, was the work of Geoscience Australia to actually have a mapping of Australia of everything that is under the ground and everything that's under seabeds as well. I think from memory $50 billion or thereabouts, it's substantial. An announcement that I made in Western Australia at a leadership forum meeting hosted by the West Australian. That's something that wasn't done. And when I went to Geoscience Australia, I was somewhat shocked. I encourage people who are Canberrans here or people who are visitors to our great bush capital here to go and visit them, see the work that they're doing, the scientists making an enormous difference for Australia. So, we'll work constructively, we'll engage constructively because that's what defines our government.

JOURNALIST: The Treasurer has just said that there's a $50 million positive impact from the SMSF changes. What in dollar terms is the negative impact on the Budget from the NDIS extended inquiry? And The Greens are now saying that they're going to be pushing for more changes in the NDIS in return for their support for further budget measures such as trusts. Is it problematic that you've banked in these savings to the NDIS based on an announcement when the realisation of them is actually uncertain?

PRIME MINISTER: Not at all. What we have is presented down a Budget. I'll ask Mark to go through some of the specifics, but we've handed down a Budget in the context of, we know we have to get things through the Senate. And the question for the three right-wing parties and their cheer squad is 'why is it that the right-wing parties and their cheer squad just say it's okay to say no to everything, say no to change?'. We've had debates for a long period of time in this country calling for tax reform. When you see it, everyone who says that they need it, not everyone then comes on and says okay, we need this change or this shift or this amendment, some of them just say no to everything. That's not our approach. We work things through constructively. We're confident that the NDIS reforms, it's also a test for Angus Taylor. It's a test for the other right-wing parties here who say that they support reform, who say that they support savings and responsible fiscal policy. This is a guy who went to the last election calling for, which, if they had been elected there would have been higher budget deficits and higher income taxes. So, this is a test for them to see if they'll break with where they've been.

MINISTER BUTLER: It was not unusual for us to announce the package before legislating it. And we did that very deliberately. We wanted participants particularly to have the opportunity, separate from the frenzy of Budget Week - to be kind about it - to have the ability to analyse what we were proposing and to engage with us about it. So, preannouncing it is not unusual. I think it was the right thing to do. The big, big changes that will yield some savings don't commence until the 1st of October. There are some changes that we had intended to start relatively soon, seven days after Royal Assent. Obviously, they'll be impacted by this delay until August. As the Treasurer said, we'll account for that in the mid-year budget update. But indicatively -

JOURNALIST:[inaudible]

MINISTER BUTLER: Indicatively we expect that to be in the order of a few hundred million dollars, but that number will be reported in more detail in the mid-year budget review. As I said, over the course of the coming 12 months of 26-27, we'd expect the savings to be very significant, but that really starts on 1 October. So, if this bill is able to be dealt with in August, we're very confident we're on track to deliver the savings that the Treasurer announced in Budget Week and more importantly we're on track to deliver the changes that this scheme needs and we're not going to sit on our hands while this eight-week extension of the inquiry happens. As I said, we're going to continue to do the work to deliver the reforms that I announced.

JOURNALIST: Thanks very much. Probably better ask Senator Gallagher in her capacity - it's a little bit long winded but bear with me. Just in your capacity as Finance Minister, Senate Negotiator and Minister for the Status of Women. About the SMSF change, I've spoken to a financial advisor who says he uses this strategy mainly for divorced women, middle-aged divorced women using a limited resource borrowing arrangement to buy a place where they'll be able to live in retirement or sell, buy something else. They can live in retirement. He says they use their employer super contributions and their rent to pay off the mortgage. He said if you shut down this avenue, this will condemn them to a life of renting in retirement. When you did this deal with The Greens, did you take into consideration any unintended consequences, which seems to be the story of this budget? And do you envision having to mop up in the aftermath of this?

MINISTER GALLAGHER: Well, for a start, I think the Treasurer has taken through the percentage of residential properties which utilise limited resource borrowing on the front, so it's a very small percentage. On the issue of women who are having to re-establish themselves post-marriage breakdown, I think have a look right across government at all the steps that we've put in place over the last four years to ensure that women's economic security is the centre of our decision making in the Budget. In every single budget we have done that and you know, we will continue to do that because it is an issue for older women who find themselves out of marriages, Marriage breakdown, low assets, difficult relationships to navigate, but limited recourse borrowing hasn't been the big element of that when it's been raised with me by women's organisations. It's been wages, it's been super, it's how do we ensure a good outcome through court processes? All of that has been raised as central of their thinking.

JOURNALIST: The New South Wales Government's been accused of dragging its feet on dealing with the gun buyback that you announced in the wake of Bondi. Are you worried about where the Minns Government is up to in terms of getting through the legislative framework for that?

PRIME MINISTER: Well, I've had direct contact with the Police Minister, Yasmin Catley, and I'm confident that we will work through those issues constructively. The gun buyback is important. It is important that as many states as possible participate. We have been flexible in the framework that has been put forward by Tony Burke in dealing with states and territories and we'll work constructively with states and territories as we always do. We had a very constructive meeting of the National Cabinet yesterday.

JOURNALIST: Last one question for the Treasurer. Do you have an estimate to how much extra costs have been from the announcements this week on the fuel excise levy on the extension or the delay for the NDIS and all the other things have been announced this week? How much is that changing the bottom line for the Budget?

TREASURER: Well, we announced yesterday when we introduced the legislation for the fuel excise tapering that it would be around $400 million. Subsequent to that, the Prime Minister and the state and territory leaders have indicated that they will also kick in. But the NDIS Minister, Minister Butler has indicated the NDIS cost is in the order of a few hundred million dollars. We said last Thursday when it came to the implementation details and the amendments before the Senate, that that would be about one seventeenth of the total amount raised by our tax reforms.

PRIME MINISTER: Thanks.
