House of Representatives Australian Parliament
00:00 - 02:08
Speaker 16
Support for free TAFE. These reforms build on that work too because we know that for our young community members and for all working Australians, every dollar matters, and skills matter, and getting rewarding work matters, and our measures recognise that reality. The bill introduces a $1,000 instant tax deduction for work related expenses because we know, the Albanese government knows, that for many Australians, tax time has become unnecessarily complicated. Deputy speaker, this reform simplifies the system while also delivering additional financial benefit. Around 6,200,000 Australians are expected to benefit.
More than half are women. More than a quarter are under the age of 30. Importantly, workers who incur work related expenses above $1,000 will still be able to claim those deductions under existing arrangements. Deputy speaker, this is about making the system simpler, fairer, and easier to navigate. Together with the income tax cuts already delivered by the Albanese government, these measures provide meaningful and ongoing support to Australian workers.
But this legislation is about more than tax relief. It is about one of the defining challenges facing young... Younger Australians today, housing affordability. Home ownership has always been about more than bricks and mortar. It is about security, stability, and belonging.
It is about having a place to raise a family, to build a future, and to become part of the community. Across my electorate, housing is one of the issues people raise with me most often.

They are working hard.
