The Albanese Government has rolled out its Cheaper Home Batteries Program which could save people who install a new solar and battery system up to $2,300 a year. Former 2GB and 9News broadcaster and current Clean Energy Council spokesman Chris O'Keefe told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, " If you've got rooftop solar, people listening right now know it saves them money." "If you put a household battery with it, it can save you, instead of $1,300 a year, $2,300 a year off your power bill." "The idea is bring the upfront cost down to make it more enticing for people to do it, and that benefits everybody because we've got one in four Australians that have got rooftop solar panels, yet only one in 40 have home batteries." "So, clearly there's an opportunity there to plug that gap. If we plug it, it's good for people's bills." O'Keefe continued.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Albanese Government has promised to extend the instant asset write-off for tradies if re-elected which would allow small businesses and trade workers to deduct $20,000 in essential purchases off the tax they pay. Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a complete con job and I actually don't think you can believe it just four weeks before an election." "This Labor Party had been prepared to let this tax break fall to just $1,000 for our tradies and our small businesses." "We pressured them in the budget week to maintain it at $20,000 and they've done that for one more year." Mrs. Ley said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
