Labor is delivering on help for households and a fairer society

From Monday, we are delivering even more help with the cost of living for every Australian.

Every single Australian taxpayer will get a tax cut – not just some. The Morrison government’s tax cuts abandoned everyone earning $45,000 or less. Under our government, everyone who pays income tax gets a tax cut. This is about rewarding hardworking Australians and taking the pressure off. After a decade in which the Liberal and Nationals used the power of government to keep wages low, Labor is getting wages moving again.

Honouring Governor-General Hurley

The Australian Government thanks His Excellency General the Honourable David Hurley AC CVO DSC (Retd) for his service as Australia's 27th Governor-General.

The Governor-General and Mrs Linda Hurley have carried out their duties with outstanding dedication, working tirelessly to celebrate the good in our community.

On behalf of the people of Australia, the Australian Government will provide a national contribution of $10,000 to Dementia Australia in honour of His Excellency’s service. Dementia Australia supports people living with dementia, their families and carers.

New funding to deliver more homes for Australia

The Albanese Labor Government’s Homes for Australia plan is delivering an additional $1 billion across the country to get homes built sooner.

States and territories will today be paid $1 billion collectively through the Priority Works Stream of the Housing Support Program to turbocharge construction of new homes.

This investment adds to the $500 million already under the Housing Support Program to boost housing supply.

Gold medal investment in our elite athletes

The Albanese Government has delivered the largest ever investment in Olympic and Paralympic sports to help our brilliant athletes achieve glory on world stages.

A record $283 million in new money will flow to our elite athletes, coaches and support staff over the next two years in a historic show of support on the path to Brisbane 2032.

This investment represents a 50 per cent increase on the previous Government’s 2021- 2022 high performance funding.

It also represents a doubling of the investment the previous Government made for Paralympic athletes.
