Labor’s budget tonight is delivering a fairer future for all with the intergenerational reform our country needs.
PASSED: Our bill to make cheaper medicines even cheaper - just $25 a script!
We've passed legislation to make medicines on the PBS cheaper, and from January 1, you won't have to pay more than $25 for a PBS script.
PASSED: Labor's bill to wipe 20% off all student debt!
We've passed new laws this week to strengthen gun laws, introduce a national gun buyback, and combat antisemitism, hate and extremism.
Labor is bringing life-changing medicines into reach for every Australian, because you shouldn't have to worry about the cost to get the care you need.
Medicines for breast cancer, Parkinson's disease and more were tens of thousands of dollars, from January 1 - just $25.
Got a student debt? You’ll pay up to $50 less a fortnight from today.
Your time off should be your own, that’s why Labor made the right to disconnect law – because you shouldn’t be on call 24/7 if you’re not paid 24/7.
That’s just one way Labor is protecting workers – we’ve also recently passed new laws to protect penalty rates on minimum and award wages.
Over the past three years under the Albanese Labor Government, the minimum wage has increased by 22.7%.
Under Labor, real wages are up, inflation is down, unemployment is low, incomes are growing, and we’ve had two interest rate cuts in three months.
The Fair Work Commission’s today has announced a 3.5% increase from 1 July 2025 following the Albanese Labor Government’s submission recommending an economically suitable real wage increase to Australian workers.
That's an additional $1,669 per year for a full-time worker.
