KIERAN GILBERT: Prime Minister, thanks for your time. So, why have you made this call to continue the fuel excise relief?
 

The Albanese Government will extend fuel excise relief for another month, making petrol and diesel 16 cents per litre cheaper versus normal prices for July, saving Australians around $11 per tank.
 
This is more temporary support that will help take the sting out of petrol prices and help Australians with the cost of living.
 
In addition, the Albanese Government will reduce the Heavy Vehicle Road User Charge by 16 cents for the same period to help truckies keep Australia moving.
 

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. Can I begin by acknowledging the bravery of the Socceroos, and they certainly gave everything on the field there in Seattle, and I'm sure I speak on behalf of all Australians. When we say we're proud of you, we look forward to the game against Paraguay, and to us qualifying through to the next round. So, to Tony Popovic and all the Socceroos, well done.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good morning. On Budget Night we foreshadowed planned consultation on our tax changes with small businesses and startups. And today we're announcing the next steps in the implementation details. This Budget, of course, delivers more tax cuts for every working Australian a fair crack at buying your own home for first home buyers. An economy that works for Australians, for small business and for future generations.

The Albanese Government is today announcing further implementation details for its tax reform package, following an intensive first round of post-Budget consultation.

Our tax reforms are all about making it easier for Australians to buy their first home, cutting taxes for workers, and better aligning the tax treatment of labour and asset income, and this is reflected in the core legislation before the Senate.

CASSANDRA FERNANDO, MEMBER FOR HOLT: It's great to be here at Goodstart Early Learning Centre in Hampton Park in the heart of my electorate. I'm honoured to be here today with the Prime Minister of Australia and Minister Clare and Minister Walsh. Holt is one of the youngest electorates in the country. It is where people come here to start their families, buy their first homes. It is a welcoming community. And by saying that, now I would like to welcome the Prime Minister to talk more about the announcement today.

Every day early educators help children learn, grow and get ready for school.

It’s one of the most important jobs in the country and they should be paid fairly for that work.

That’s why the Albanese Government funded a 15 per cent pay rise for Early Education and Care Workers.

Today, the Albanese Government is investing a further $3.6 billion over the next two years to lock in this historic 15 per cent pay rise for early childhood educators.

The Albanese Government has delivered on its election commitment to open an additional 50 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics with the final clinic opening in Caloundra, Queensland today.

Medicare Urgent Care Clinics are providing cost of living relief, helping families access healthcare without the cost, providing free Medicare-backed care close to home.

The opening is a historic milestone meaning all 137 Medicare Urgent Care Clinics promised by the Government are now operating around the country.

LIBBY COKER MP, MEMBER FOR CORANGAMITE: So thank you very much for being with us today. It is a very exciting day. I am thrilled to have my boss and the Prime Minister of the country, Anthony Albanese, with us today. We also have Brooklyn and Lachie and Rosco, and we're here today because we want to actually celebrate and encourage people to take up 5% first home buyer deposit scheme. This has been an amazing scheme.

ANDREW LEIGH, MEMBER FOR FENNER: Good afternoon, everyone. My name’s Andrew Leigh, the Assistant Minister for Productivity, Competition, Charities and Treasury, and for the purposes of today, the Federal Member for Fenner. It’s a real delight to be here on Ngunnawal land with the Prime Minister and Housing Minister to inspect this great social and affordable housing development. We’re here in the suburb of Jacka, named after Albert Jacka, who won Australia’s first VC. But before he went off to fight in World War One, Albert Jacka was a forester.
