The federal government has indicated that reducing the higher education debt of students and graduates by $16bn with be its first legislative priority for its second term in office. Labor has also reaffirmed its commitment to superannuation reform, including the controversial tax on unrealised capital gains. The reforms had been intended to take effect on 1 July but were rejected by the Senate earlier in 2025 due to opposition from a number of crossbenchers; however, they will be sidelined in the new Senate given that Labor and the Greens will have a majority in the upper house.
