Same here, EVERALD COMPTON, looking forward to being the third wheel to you and Rebecca Levingston on ABC Brisbane tonight and having another good yarn about the budget, this time on air #auspol #ausecon

The Anthony Albanese Australian Labor Government’s $6.1 billion investment in Medicare in last year’s Budget has helped stop the slide in bulk billing. New figures out today show an increase in bulk billing rates in every state and territory #auspol #ausecon Mark Butler MP

To my friend Jack and to all the veterans in our local communities and around our country, we say thank you.

Lest we forget.

Looking forward to joining Michael Fullilove at the The Lowy Institute next week to talk about our government's plan to better align our economic and security interests, so that we can make our people the biggest beneficiaries of change in a future made here in Australia. #auspol #ausecon

Today’s figures show inflation dropped to 3.6% in the year to the March quarter, down from 4.1% in the previous quarter. Annual inflation is now less than half its peak and much lower than the 6.1% we inherited at the time of the election. #auspol #ausecon

I'll be up soon on ABC News with Greg Jennett. #auspol #ausecon

New numbers just out show inflation has now almost halved since Australian Labor came to office. It’s still too high, people are still under the pump, but we’re making progress. The Budget next month will focus on easing cost of living pressures, not adding to them. #auspol

Speaking to Kieran Gilbert live on Sky News Australia soon #auspol #ausecon

Australia stands with Ukraine. Today I agreed with Sergii Marchenko to extend tariff concessions on Ukrainian imports to Australia. #auspol #ausecon

Global economic uncertainty will be a big feature of our discussions this week in Washington DC, & a big factor in the budget we hand down next month. Thanks Sarah Ferguson for this discussion from the Capitol at the start of 17 hours of meetings with global colleagues. #auspol

The world is changing & we can be major beneficiaries of that change. A Future Made in Australia is all about maximising our advantages in energy, industry, resources, skills & investment so we become an indispensable part of the net zero economy. Sarah Ferguson ABC News #auspol

By getting the Budget in much better nick we are putting downward pressure on inflation, building buffers against global uncertainty, and making more room to help ease the cost of living pressures people are under #auspol #ausecon ABC News Sarah Ferguson

I’ll join Sarah Ferguson on abctv #730 shortly live from the Capitol in Washington DC, ahead of a busy day of meetings with my #G20 and other counterparts here in the US. #auspol #ausecon

New IMF figures show a remarkable improvement in Australia’s budget position under the Anthony Albanese Government. We now have the second strongest budget position in the G20, up from 14th under the previous government #auspol #ausecon Katy Gallagher

Australia rises to second in world budget management rankings, IMF data shows dlvr.it/T5dNtq

Under the Anthony Albanese Government, Australia has gone from 14th to 2nd in a global ranking of budget management. We know a stronger budget is not an end in itself but the foundation on which we build everything we want to do for our people and our society #auspol #ausecon Katy Gallagher
