The Albanese Labor Government’s 2024 Budget provides cost of living relief for people in Gilmore and invests in a future made in Australia.

Federal Member for Gilmore Fiona Phillips said the Budget was a win for every Australian and for everyone in Gilmore.

“The 2024 Budget delivers new help with the cost of living, for everyone, including tax cuts for every Australian taxpayer from July 1 in Gilmore,” she said.

“We’re helping local families by providing a $300 energy rebate for every household and cutting the prices of more common medicines through our cheaper medicines policy.

“We’re kickstarting the construction of more homes in every part of the country, and wiping around $3 billion from student HECS debt.

“Every working parent will get a better deal by receiving superannuation on top of Paid Parental Leave.”

Mrs Phillips said the cost of living relief delivered in the Budget “builds on our work to take pressure off people without adding to pressure on inflation”.

“This is a Budget to train more tradies, build more homes, boost bulk billing and give more Australians a crack at university or TAFE,” she added.

“Our Budget is investing in a Future Made in Australia, the transformative opportunities of clean energy, new technology, strengthening our defence industry and capability, and investing in strategic industries.”

Because of our responsible economic management, the Government has been able to forecast a second consecutive Budget surplus.

“The Albanese Labor Government knows that people in Gilmore are doing it tough and this Budget delivers new help.“

“It’s about the two things that have driven our Government for two years – acting on cost of living and making our future here.

“This Budget gets the balance right – helping our community right now while setting our nation up for the future.”

Treasurer, Dr Jim Chalmers said this Budget delivers for everyone in Gilmore.

“Tax cuts for every taxpayer and energy bill relief for every home. It’s the right and responsible thing to do and I know this will help make a real difference for Australians.”
