The Australian Government will press ahead with $A6.3bn worth of savings measures after the Opposition agreed to support its proposed changes to family tax benefits. The Australian Labor Party will support 20 of the 24 savings initiatives that were included in the Government’s "omnibus" bill, with both sides of politics agreeing to some concessions. The Government has backed down on measures such as abolition of the clean energy supplement for welfare recipients.
