Oh look – one of Richard Denniss’ and Greg Jericho’s favourite phrases (I hear it in my sleep) makes it into the first question:

Q: Budgets are about choices, you have chosen to give every Australian worker tax cuts spending $17 billion as we have heard, why are you giving a tax cut to you and to me?

Jim Chalmers:

This is about topping up a tax cut every taxpayer in addition to those which are rolling out from July last year. And so we know that they are modest in isolation but meaningful in combination, and with all the tax cuts we have provided with other cost-of-living help that we are rolling out as her when it comes to the design of the tax cuts, in order to give one to every Australian taxpayer the benefits are felt disproportionately to people were encouraging to work, younger workers, women, people on low and middle income is. They will proportionately be the biggest beneficiaries of this top up tax cut in addition to tax cuts already rolling out.
