ABC 7.30 presses Treasurer on 'broken promises' in budget interview
On ABC 7.30, presenter Sarah Ferguson pressed Treasurer Jim Chalmers on reversed election pledges during a Budget 2026 interview. Ferguson singled out proposed changes to housing tax concessions and demanded specific explanations for the policy shifts. Chalmers defended the decisions as necessary trade-offs to deliver the budget. The exchange focused scrutiny on the government's credibility and could influence parliamentary votes on the Budget 2026 measures.
Jim Chalmers says when the LNP introduced the CGT discount in 1999, they “fundamentally distorted how investment happens” by “encouraging ppl to pile into existing housing” which pushed prices up & locked young ppl out.💥 The 27-year free ride is finally over. #auspol
A good start Jim, now what about taxing the gas giants?
Meanwhile how many times are we going to hear Tim Wilson say “broken promise. Government can’t be trusted. “ 🤦🏻♀️
he has bitten the bullet and he is right.
Only over for newbies. Existing investors exempt. They should have wound down the current tax benefits over 5-10 years; then it would be over. And Labor grandstanding about what a wonderful thing they did will be sickening - housing will remain unaffordable for years / decades to come. #auspol
$36,000,000,000 cut to the NDIS. I cannot see that ending well for disabled people 😠
You'd think that an election "promise" has never been changed before. Promise was because as promoted by Sky and Opposition media asked that question non stop and Labor weren't going there, history. No cuts to health or education, no cuts to ABC or SBS then in budget cut the lot, google it.
“We’ll take the Farrer result with humility”, lies the arrogant Liberal deputy leader. It’s clear that she - and they - have no idea how to save their disintegrating party. #abc730 #auspol
It’s a car crash interview. She will not rule out a PHON alliance. Hume, Taylor, Wilson - a busted flush. There MUST be a root and branch upheaval of the Liberals. They are unelectable - even in their own safe seats. #auspol
Tried to blame their disastrous loss on Labor because they didn’t run a candidate.
Absolute train wreck interview, blaming all and sundry. She represents everything that is wrong with the Liberal Party.
