Health Minister Mark Butler is firing back at One Nation’s push to slash tobacco taxes by 75%, calling it a “cheap headline” and a “thought bubble” — arguing legal cigarettes would still beat black market prices, making the tax cut ineffective. He’s also confident the Thriving Kids program for kids with developmental delays will launch on time across most states by October, despite 60+ Senate amendments. Meanwhile, the NDIS reforms have cleared the Senate with Coalition backing, now heading to the lower house. Amid these moves, rental prices remain a hot topic — banks predict big hikes while the government sees only modest increases — and unions are demanding longer leases for stability.
