Speaking to a local radio station, he confirmed the announcement is imminent but did not specify a date.
Ahead of the election, Albanese’s government passed a Senate bill introducing tax cuts to ease the cost of living. Starting in 2026, taxes will drop by 5 Australian dollars ($3.14) per week, increasing to 10 Australian dollars ($6.29) in 2027. The opposition Liberal-National Coalition, however, has pledged to repeal these cuts in favor of a fuel excise reduction if elected.
