Treasurer Jim Chalmers will use a National Press Club speech today to identify boosting productivity, budget sustainability and economic resilience as the federal government’s reform priorities for its second term in office. Chalmers will contend that while the federal budget is now stronger, it is not yet sustainable; he will also argue that the domestic economy is growing and resilient, but it is not productive enough or resilient enough. Meanwhile, he has given indications that tax reform may be on the agenda for the productivity roundtable in August, stating that Labor may be open to broader tax reforms than its proposed changes to the tax treatment of superannuation accounts with balances exceeding $3m.
