1
Prime Minister, thanks for joining me.
2
Good to be with you.
3
Can I first ask you,
4
you were elected promising transparency and credibility, now broken promises.
5
How can voters trust what you say?
6
What we've done with this budget is a budget of reform,
7
a budget of building resilience and a budget to really make some hard decisions.
8
I was elected as Prime Minister not to just occupy the space.
9
And we know that young people are feeling more
10
and more like they're not going to have the opportunity to ever own their own home.
11
When we receive that advice and it becomes stronger and stronger and stronger,
12
the only option that we have is to act.
13
And we are acting to make sure that we change the way the tax system works.
14
And the truth is
15
that people have called for tax reform for a long period
16
of time to make sure we get a better balance between income earned from working with income earned from owning assets.
17
That's what these changes do.
18
Do you have to apologise to the people who voted for you thinking these changes weren't going to happen?
19
Importantly what we've done as grandfather all of these changes.
20
There's no one who currently has a negatively geared home who have any impact on this.
21
But those who might have aspirationally wanted to do that into the future?
22
Guess what?
23
They can.
24
They can buy a new home where what they're doing is not just helping themselves and building an asset for themselves,
25
they're building an asset for the nation.
26
Because instead of competing with first home buyers on an existing property,
27
what they'll be doing is investing in new builds,
28
new properties that helps to build supply and that makes a positive difference,
29
not just for them but for their nation.
30
and they can also choose to continue to have a 50% discount on capital gains if they choose to do so.
31
Are you prepared to go further in this term if the dial doesn't shift?
32
No, what we've done is get the balance right.
33
So nothing else in this term?
34
We've done a whole range of measures already.
35
We are now putting this in place to make a difference.
36
This comes on top of our $47 billion Homes for Australians plan that consists of new infrastructure.
37
Those small infrastructure, whether it be sewerage or water or energy or roads,
38
that will make a difference and allow progress to go ahead.
39
Our increased public housing spending through the Housing Australia Future Fund.
40
Our build to rent scheme,
41
our shared equity scheme, our 5% home deposits that have been accessed by over 200,000 first home buyers.
42
These are all measures we are throwing everything at the housing issue
43
because it's the number one issue that not just young people raised with us but their parents and grandparents as well.
44
One question from our audience is have you benefited from negative gearing?
45
Well it's not about me.
46
But in the past?
47
Well it's not about me.
48
All of my affairs are documented publicly and the good thing is
49
that people will be able to if they choose
50
so negatively gear into the future they'll be able to do that through their buying a new home.
51
So you're saying you have in the past
52
but you know I'm saying this isn't about me
53
or about you yeah this is about the Australian people
54
and making sure that they get the measures right all of my affairs are declared they're open for all to see.
55
One Nation has been tapping into this sense of grievance around
56
trust with major parties have you just handed them a new campaign tactic in Western Sydney?
57
No, One Nation have benefited from trying to pit Australian against Australian.
58
What we're doing is to ensure
59
that young Australians get a fair crack whilst maintaining all of the measures
60
that are there that have been enjoyed by people for a long period of time
61
but what has happened over a period of time is
62
that it has got harder and harder for young people to access the housing market.
63
We want an Australia where everyone can aspire to having a roof over their head.
64
That is what these measures support.
65
We're hearing this rhetoric from the conservative side of politics that migration is to blame for the housing shortage.
66
In that environment there's a push to reduce permanent migration.
67
Will you commit to keep the permanent migration level where it is for the rest of your term?
68
Well we've got the figures in the budget last night.
69
We have reduced the net overseas migration by about 45% from its peak.
70
And of course, it went up post-COVID because Australians and visitors were locked out for a long period of time.
71
What we've been doing is working on getting those numbers down,
72
the budget figures show the numbers going further down from 295,000 to 225,000.
73
When we look at the reality of interest rates,
74
it's the poorest who are hit first.
75
Your offset in the tax area that you announced last night for working Australians,
76
it doesn't go to those who are the poorest and it's not means tested.
77
So if the budget's in better shape next year,
78
will you look at raising JobSeeker?
79
No, it goes to workers is what it does
80
and we make no apologies for wanting people to earn more and to keep more of what they earn.
81
And the other thing that we want to do is to make sure that people can get into a job.
82
That's how you lift people out of poverty,
83
through things like free TAFE,
84
that we have now had about 800,000 Australians go through,
85
by making sure that we have an economy that works for people.
86
The unemployment rate at 4.3% is still at a historic low.
87
We have prioritised creating jobs,
88
whilst we've been in government,
89
we'll continue to do so.
90
So job seekers is not something on your agenda in this term,
91
in terms of an increase?
92
What's on the agenda, we had a budget just last night.
93
Yep.
94
So, how about we talk about last night's budget?
95
That is our priority.
96
But our priority as well,
97
as shown last night, is getting people into work,
98
making sure that the employment services system works for them,
99
making sure that they can get the skills and training that they need to get those jobs.
100
Just in terms of the gas tax,
101
which you completely ruled out in this budget,
102
if there is a change the circumstances
103
so the war is over the fuel situation is is not a pressure on the economy is it something
104
that you would revisit with respect what what is it
105
that you refer to
106
because no one seems to know increasing the tax on gas
107
for export well it's not there is a prrt there now there is
108
and in the budget it rose 400 million dollars people speak as if there isn't one there's There's company tax,
109
there's the resources tax that goes to state as well and in addition to that there's the PRRT.
110
The PRRT was designed to ramp up over time as the
111
cost of investment to create these projects is paid down and that is what you would expect to occur.
112
We made changes to the PRRT in our first term.
113
But the issue that we are concerned about at the moment,
114
of course, is supply.
115
Is supply of fuel into our economy.
116
That's what overwhelmingly your listeners are interested in as well.
117
In terms of the budget money in Indigenous Affairs,
118
there is no additional money this year for Makarata.
119
Is that a signal that the Uluru Statement from the heart is not something
120
that you want to invest in at this point?
121
Look, I've made very clear what our priorities are when it comes to Indigenous affairs.
122
And in this budget, for example,
123
one of the things we've done to go back to jobs is that we've doubled the remote job scheme.
124
Now, that has replaced essentially a Make Work program that didn't achieve any real jobs with real wages,
125
with real jobs, with real wages and real training.
126
That's an absolute priority.
127
It's just one of the measures that we have in this budget to assist on Indigenous affairs.
128
Are we to take, though,
129
from the lack of funding for Makarrata that in this term or particularly in this budget it's not something you're funding,
130
it's not something you're investing in?
131
You can take from our budget what we are doing positively
132
and the positive thing that we have is the remote jobs program
133
but there's other funding in there as well for social services,
134
for a range of areas across the board.
135
You're facing criticism within the Parliament for releasing the government's response to the gambling review yesterday
136
while we were in budget lockup
137
and you were also focused on the budget why did you do it at
138
that time seriously you were at the National Press Club I think
139
when I announced these changes it wasn't done in the chamber
140
yesterday it was done at the National Press Club before the
141
entire National Press Gallery on a broadcast on ABC live
142
and then replayed on ABC iview and I said as part of
143
that speech I said that we would table the response at the first possible opportunity
144
when Parliament came back that was weeks ago in the full glare of the public
145
and what that says to me is that we've got the response right
146
because people are arguing about a process
147
that you can't be more transparent in any policy announcement than
148
doing it at the National Press Club taking questions for a long time we went over time during
149
that that speech at the National Press Club
150
so I found it rather bizarre that people suggested somehow
151
that this was hidden well
152
if it was it was hidden in full public view on live television at at the National Press Club.
153
You can't decouple this budget from what's happening across the world.
154
And we have a meeting that's about to occur between President Xi and President Trump.
155
What would you like to see come out of that engagement?
156
Well, it's a good thing that this meeting is taking place.
157
These are the world's two superpowers.
158
I have a constructive relationship with both President Trump and President Xi.
159
What I want to see is a relationship
160
that builds on the first meeting that they had in the United States a little
161
while ago and then meetings that have taken place and I know that phone conversations have taken place as well.
162
We want peace and security and stability around the world.
163
The United States and China have a critical role to play in that.
164
Prime Minister, we appreciate your time on an incredibly busy day.
165
Thank you very much.

Grammar & Expressions in Context
In this video, several key grammatical structures and expressions are of great educational value. Here are a few examples:
- "I was elected as Prime Minister not to just occupy the space." – This sentence demonstrates the use of the past simple tense and the phrase "not to just," which emphasizes the speaker's intention.
- "The truth is that people have called for tax reform for a long period of time." – Here, the present perfect tense is used to indicate a situation that occurred in the past and continues into the present, a useful structure for learners to employ when discussing ongoing issues.

Common Pronunciation Traps
While listening to the speaker, learners may encounter some pronunciation challenges that are common in political speech. Here are a few tricky words and phrases to pay attention to:
- "Resilience" – The pronunciation may differ between British and American accents. Be sure to listen closely to how vowel sounds shift depending on the speaker's accent.
- "Aspirationally" – This word's length and the combination of syllables can be difficult to practice. Breaking it down into segments can help with smoother pronunciation.
- "Infrastructure" – Often pronounced quickly in conversation, it's crucial to articulate each syllable clearly in order to avoid confusion.
Using a shadowing app allows you to repeatedly practice these words in context, which is essential for improving English pronunciation. Pay attention to the nuances in tone and inflection as you shadow the speaker for a more authentic speaking experience.
