Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull will ramp up his economic reform agenda with plans to introduce 25 bills to Parliament on 31 August and 1 September 2016. Turnbull has insisted that the bills must be approved by the Coalition’s backbench committees before Parliament resumes on 30 August. The bills cover a range of policies, including personal income tax cuts, a reduction in the corporate tax rate, welfare reforms and tobacco excise. Turnbull has indicated that he is willing to negotiate with crossbenchers, amid signs that they may oppose key reforms such as the reinstatement of the Australian Building & Construction Commission.

The Australian Government is expected to amend its cross-media ownership bill to change the local content requirement to take into account a regional network’s acquisition of a metropolitan broadcaster. The previous clause only applied to a metro network’s takeover of a regional counterpart. The revised bill is likely to be introduced when Parliament resumes, after being put to the Coalition’s communications backbench committee and the party room.
