00:01Side by side with his surprise Senate recruit, a beaming Prime Minister boosts Labor's ranks in the Red Chamber.
00:09Tammy Tyrrell is a great Tasmanian and a great Australian.
00:13Elected under Jackie Lambie's banner in 2022, Tammy Tyrrell became an independent before today's move.
00:19I'm very proud to be a Labor girl.
00:21Today's announcement timed to coincide with the opposition leader's first budget reply speech,
00:26where he hopes to outgun Labor on tax cuts.
00:30We will be putting Australians first.
00:32Currently, as inflation rises, it pushes up wages, bumping workers into higher tax brackets.
00:38Angus Taylor is promising to permanently fix that by tying the tax brackets to inflation,
00:43delivering workers a $250 tax cut in the first year, rising to $1,000 by the fourth year.
00:49Topping Labor's $250 a year tax cut from 2028, setting up a heated battle over taxes, housing,
00:57We are the party of home ownership and migration.
01:00Don't let more people in than you have houses to support.
01:05Rejecting Labor's plans to overhaul negative gearing and capital gains tax, the coalition to focus entirely on supply.
01:12Capping Australia's net overseas migration at the number of new homes built.
01:17Last year, the net intake was around 311,000.
01:22That's the number of people who arrived to live in Australia, minus those departing to live overseas.
01:28Visa holders, New Zealand citizens and Australians returning home.
01:31The coalition won't say which visa categories it'll target, but it's eyeing harsher changes, kicking all non-citizens off welfare
01:40benefits and the NDIS.
01:43If you are not an Australian citizen, then you don't get the privileges of an Australian citizen.
01:48Angus Taylor has no vision for the future, and that's why he's picking up One Nation's policies.
01:53This is a controversial idea that risks alienating diasporate communities, but it's clearly a pitch to voters drifting to One
02:01Nation.
02:02Combined with the costly tax cuts, these are big policies to unveil 18 months out from an election.
02:09Underscoring the pressure Angus Taylor's under to turn his party's fortunes around.
