Jim Chalmers Embraces Tax Reform Talk Amid Treasury FOI Error

Tax reform is gaining momentum after an accidental leak of Treasury advice. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has confirmed that tax should be raised as part of broader tax reform, aligning with his previous statements. He believes that raising taxes will help repair the budget and make it more sustainable. Economists agree that the leak will promote the conversation ahead of the Economic Reform Roundtable. The Treasury advises raising revenue and reducing spending, with tax increases not coming from workers or businesses.
