"This will be a really responsible budget focused on resilience and reform. There'll be a productivity package, there'll be a tax reform package, and there'll also be a very substantial savings package as well."
Na saunoa Jim Chalmers, o le a sili atu le aofa'i o tupe o le a sefe nai lo tupe e fa’a-alu e le malo i lalo o le tala i le tupe lenei.
O loo iai le fa’amoemoe i se si’itaga i tupe maua a le malo mai le si’itaga i le tau o puna'oa fa’anatura fa’atau atu i fafo ma le maualuga i le tau o le soifuaga.
"We will save more than we spend, and we will bank the upward revisions to revenue as well. We did this in December, in the mid-year update, and we will do it again in May. I understand and I appreciate that there is a lot of interest in tax reform in this budget. That's welcome, from my point of view, what you will see in the budget is, in gross terms, there will be more dollars in savings than dollars in revenue upgrades. There will also be more dollars in savings than dollars in tax reform."
E le'i faailoaina e Jim Chalmers se fa’amoemoe i le tipiina o lafoga i le tala i le tupe lenei, ae na ia fa’asino i le $5 i le vaiaso o le tax cut mai le Aso 1 o Iulai ua mae'a ona fa’atulafonoina.
I sana saunoaga i le Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry i Melbourne i le vaiaso talu ai, na saunoa ai le sui fa’aolioli o le itūagai i le tofi teutupe, Tim Wilson, e lē taitai ona lava le aofa'i o loo tipi ai lafoga pe a fa’atusa i le taugatā o le tau o le soifuaga o iai nei.
"Those tax cuts didn't even come close to returning bracket creep by the time of the December budget update last year, just seven months after the last federal election, the tax cuts Labor took to the last election had already been wiped out by the treasurer's active inflation agenda. That's why, over their time in government, the Albanese government is the highest taxing government in Australian history, and why personal income taxes in particular, are at the highest level as a share of the economy ever."

O loo iai masaloga i le ono iai o se si’itaga i le aofa'i o lafoga e totogi e tagata mai aseta ma meatotino na maua mai mavaega a matua poo nisi o ‘āiga - family trusts.
I se talanoaga ma le Seven Network, na saunoa ai le sui o le One Nation, Barnaby Joyce, e lē amiotonu le 'a'apa mai o le malo e sele atu se vaega o le 'oa na faaputu e matua mo le lumana'i manuia o a latou fanau.
"People who are prudent, who after they have paid tax on their income, invest in capital assets so their children can have a better life by handing across an asset to them because they went without, they didn't buy the new boat, they didn't go on the trip, they didn't buy the new car. They put their money away for other people who come after them. And what's happening now is Uncle Jim has run out of money. He's desperately looking for it, so he's going to the prudent people and ripping it off them."
O se tasi o vaega e le taumate o loo faamoemoe le malo tele e sefe mai ai le seleni, o le NDIS, le National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Na fa’aalia foi e le teutupe, Jim Chalmers, e lē o iai se faamoemoe o le malo e fa’aauau le fa’amāmā 'avega i le tau o le penisini ma le suau'u, le fuel excise tax, i luma atu o Iuni lea na fuafua e fa’amutaina ai.
