Treasurer cites 'hard road of reform' as he reveals 2026 federal budget - 国库部长公布2026年联邦预算案 称政府选择“艰难改革之路”

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has delivered his 2026 budget, which he says takes what he's called the 'hard road of reform'. At the heart of the budget are housing tax changes, and a $35 billion saving from reform to the runaway National Disability Insurance Scheme. Labor has been keen to portray this budget as one of spending restraint, after warnings by economists and Reserve Bank governor Michele Bullock that splashing out would only fuel inflation and risk further rate hikes. - 国库部长吉姆·查默斯（Jim Chalmers）公布了2026年预算案，他表示该预算案走的是他所说的“艰难的改革之路”。预算案的核心是住房税制的调整，以及通过改革失控的全国残障保险计划（NDIS）计划节省350亿澳元。在经济学家和储备银行行长米歇尔·布洛克（ Michele Bullock ）警告大手笔支出只会助长通胀并可能导致进一步加息后，工党一直致力于将这份预算案描绘成一份控制支出的预算案。
