The Albanese government faces political turmoil as the Coalition accuses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of overruling Treasurer Jim Chalmers on the ATO credit card ban, following a text from business lobby boss Andrew McKellar. Jim Chalmers expresses cautious confidence that cost of living pressures will ease in the second half of next year, based on Reserve Bank and Treasury advice. The government suffers a humiliating defeat in the Senate as the Coalition, Greens, One Nation and crossbench unite to reject budget cuts to the private health insurance rebate for over 65s, with Health Minister Mark Butler warning that $3 billion in savings will no longer be redirected towards aged care.
