Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has expedited a new set of tax cuts amounting to A$17 billion through parliament as he signals that the start of the 2025 election campaign is imminent, with speculation suggesting the election could be called as early as Friday. The tax cuts, opposed by the Liberal-National Coalition, are part of Labor's budget plan and are aimed at addressing cost-of-living pressures. Meanwhile, opposition leader Peter Dutton has responded with a proposal to halve fuel excise for a year, indicating a contentious campaign ahead.
