Delivering
More to Make Your Life Easier
26 October 2014
This past week we have seen very
good news for Australian families flowing from the Government’s decision to
scrap the carbon tax.
The Bureau of Statistics has
reported that households and businesses are benefiting from the largest fall in
power prices since records began.
And, in coming months, there will
be further flow-ons – with less cost pressures on other goods and services.
For the businesses that export
and employ; and for the families who are saving for Christmas – lower
electricity prices are very good news.
But they’re just the start.
The Government is implementing an
Economic Action Strategy to build a
strong and prosperous economy for a safe and secure Australia.
This week, the second-ever Red
Tape Repeal Day will remove almost 1,000 unnecessary pieces of legislation and
regulation.
So far, the Government has moved
to cut over $2 billion a year in red tape costs – that’s actually double the $1
billion a year cut that we promised before the election.
Households are seeing the
benefits – with the new MyTax service helping you with your tax return and the
MyGov system making it easier to access government services like Medicare and
Centrelink.
And this week, I will be making
an infrastructure statement to the Parliament on building the roads of the 21st
century.
The Government has a record $50
billion infrastructure programme underway that will improve traffic, reduce
transport costs and make our country more efficient: through big progress on
major projects such as WestConnex, the East West Link, the Midland Highway, the
North-South Road Corridor, the Swan Bypass, the Gateway upgrade and major works
on the Pacific and Bruce Highways.
These roads and projects like
Sydney’s Second Airport are vital to our nation.
The Government is delivering –
scrapping bad taxes, cutting red tape, stopping the boats and building the
infrastructure of the 21st century.
This is just the start and every
day we are delivering more – to make your life easier and our economy stronger. |
