Savezni rizničar Jim Chalmers predstavio je srednjoročnu reviziju proračuna obilježenu fiskalnom suzdržanošću, istaknuvši poboljšanje proračunskog manjka od 5,4 milijarde dolara, uz nova, važna ulaganja u CSIRO te sigurnost zajednice. Ipak, izgledi ostaju neizvjesni jer rast inflacije prijeti realnom rastu plaća, dok stalni pritisci na potrošnju u području skrbi za djecu i NDIS-a i dalje opterećuju proračun.

Bộ trưởng Ngân khố Jim Chalmers vừa công bố Báo cáo Triển vọng Kinh tế và Tài khóa Giữa năm, cho thấy thâm hụt ngân sách năm nay đã được cải thiện thêm 5.4 tỷ đô la. Dù khẳng định ngân sách đang đi đúng hướng với nợ công giảm và các quyết định chính sách tích cực, chính phủ thừa nhận lạm phát tăng trở lại cùng áp lực chi tiêu cho chăm sóc trẻ em và NDIS vẫn là những thách thức lớn phía trước.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has unveiled a mid-year budget update marked by fiscal restraint, highlighting a $5.4 billion improvement to the deficit alongside critical new funding for the CSIRO and community security. However, the outlook remains fraught as rising inflation threatens real wage growth and persistent spending pressures in childcare and the NDIS continue to squeeze the bottom line.

Will admit more recently I have been leaning more towards capital growth rather than cashflow, especially when earlier in investing journey/accumulation phase. One reason being, if working, any additional income will be taxed at your marginal tax rate, and for many doctors that's the highest tax bracket 47%.May make more sense in retirement to have focus on cashflow.Of course, cashflow management is still important- do not want too negatively geared properties to the point that you can't hold them.In this episode with BA Richard, we discuss some cashflow strategies- granny flat, duplex, unit blocks, NDIS, rooming homes.Also, we talk about some common sayings "Cashflow keeps you in the game but capital growth gets you out of the rat race"Music Credit: Bass Nation.New episode every fortnight.Send in your questions to: passiveincomedoctors[AT]gmail.comIf you are a doctor or dentist interested in property investing Australia, join my community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/315108673770810Follow me on Instagram for first peek at new content, and my day-to-day life.

In this, our final episode for the year, Minh & Debbie take a look back at the year that was.2025 began with clear signs that the SDA investment landscape was in for a major shift. We saw buyers becoming more sophisticated and lending rules changing significantly. But little did we know just how quickly the impact would hit - from finance challenges and new market dynamics to the pressures on NDIS providers and tenant funding.A direct result of this maturing market? We're now seeing many more property re-sales and far fewer brand-new properties coming to market.Minh & Debbie also share some thoughts on what might be in store for next year.

A new report has revealed that thousands of Australians living with serious mental health conditions can’t get the lifesaving care and support they need because they don’t meet NDIS requirements. Experts say there are solutions, and it won’t cost any more, but an overhaul of the current funding system is needed. In this episode of The Briefing, Natarsha Belling is joined by Rielly Polascheck from the Grattan Institute, who unpacks the new research and the workable solutions. Headlines: The RBA has kept the official cash rate on hold, the United States will station more troops and military assets in Australia, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has delivered the eulogy at the state funeral for Graham Richardson.

الحكومة الفيدرالية تطلق خطة وطنية لتوجيه تطوير الذكاء الاصطناعي في أستراليا. والسيدة لمى ناصر التي تعمل بمجال التكنولوجيا والذكاء الاصطناعي لتطوير عملها الخاص بذوي الاحتياجات الخاصة توضح أهمية هذا الموضوع.

Australia is failing more than 130,000 people with significant psychosocial disability – despite spending billions every year on the NDIS. This gap is fuelling a growing problem. People without adequate supports are more likely to experience homelessness, be hospitalized, or have their needs escalate, putting pressure on systems that are already under strain. In this podcast, Sam Bennett, Mia Jessurun, and Reilly Polaschek, discuss the latest Grattan report, Bridging the Gap: Meeting the needs of Australians with psychosocial disability. In the report, they outline a plan to build a fairer and more effective system of psychosocial supports.

Inflation has turned upward again, and this month's news brings a shift that economists and households alike will feel. In What's in the News, we start with the first official monthly CPI release from the ABS, which shows headline inflation rising to 3.8 percent. We walk through what's driving the move including housing costs, food prices, and the sharp jump in electricity bills. We also look at why the RBA is expected to hold rates despite the reversal in trend.In The Hand, the conversation shifts to the real pressure point behind the scenes: structurally higher energy costs that rebates have been masking for more than a year. We examine how years of policy instability have stalled long-term investment in baseload generation, why emerging technologies like hydrogen remain far from cost-effective, and how the rollback of subsidies is exposing the true cost of the system Australians rely on every day.Then in The Invisible, we turn to the widening housing shortfall, where record population growth is colliding with weak construction activity. Domenique outlines the gap between migration and dwelling supply, and Paul breaks down why the Housing Australia Future Fund has fallen dramatically behind its targets. Together, we connect these trends to the structural forces shaping inflation, affordability, and opportunity across the economy.Episode Highlights: [00:06] We open with a look at the first official monthly CPI print released by the ABS.[01:01] Listener encounters at a securitisation conference spark a conversation about academic roots and shared backgrounds.[02:09] Interest grows around the idea of a live event as the two of us gauge audience enthusiasm.[03:36] The What's in the News segment begins with a deep dive into the October CPI reading, which shows inflation rising to 3.8 percent.[04:20] Discussion turns to why Australia shifted from quarterly to monthly CPI reporting and how the ABS constructs the new series.[06:36] Key inflation drivers include housing, electricity, and food come into focus as we unpack the pressures behind the latest numbers.[08:16] The conversation revisits the RBA's rapid tightening cycle, from the 0.1 percent cash rate to the 4.35 percent peak.[10:09] Temporary electricity rebates are examined for how they distorted inflation on the way down and again on the way up.[11:09] Rising food and beverage costs are added to the broader cost-of-living picture.[12:44] Record government expenditure, now sitting at 26.5 percent of GDP, is identified as the largest underlying driver of inflation.[14:15] Health, defence, and the NDIS emerge as the categories fueling sustained fiscal pressure across government budgets.[16:30] Connections are drawn between government spending, tax receipts, and Australia's dependence on resource exports.[18:40] The question of an RBA hold or hike prompts a discussion shaped by timing, data trends, and the approaching holiday period.[19:23] This month's CPI print is framed as a turning point that signals a new phase in the economic cycle.[21:31] The Hand segment begins with an exploration of energy bill rebates and the sharp increases appearing as those supports roll off.[23:22] The political timing of the rebates is questioned, along with the broader economic logic behind them.[25:46] A recent visit to a hydrogen facility highlights the steep technological and financial challenges of emerging energy solutions.[27:35] Long-term energy planning hurdles are traced back to more than 15 years of policy instability and shifting priorities.[28:59] The realities of baseload replacement are discussed, noting why renewables still struggle to compete with ageing coal assets on cost.[30:35] Government trade-offs come into focus as electricity costs, health spending, defence needs, and tax policy collide.[32:13] The Invisible segment begins by contrasting record migration levels with Australia's slow construction output.[34:16] The scale of the housing shortage becomes clear through vacancy rates, construction gaps, and CBRE's projected 75,000-unit apartment deficit.[35:00] Attention turns to the Housing Australia Future Fund and its promise to deliver 55,000 homes for $10 billion.[37:19] Reality falls far short of the target, with just over 4,000 dwellings counted so far and fewer than 400 actually built.[38:41] Dwelling costs under the program are unpacked, showing average figures between $800,000 and more than $1 million per home.[40:15] Migration trends, construction slowdowns, and rising costs are connected to Australia's widening housing imbalance.[40:44] Structural challenges in energy, housing, and inflation are reframed as areas of opportunity for households and businesses able to adapt.[42:51] The episode wraps with a preview of next month's annual Predictions episode and a look at the political and economic forces ahead.Resources & Links Related to this EpisodeThe Invisible Hand PodcastThe Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA)Australian Bureau of Statistics – Monthly CPI IndicatorHousing Australia Future FundCBRE – Residential Market Reports

The Albanese government has announced the launch of a program called Thriving Kids to commence from July 2026, which would aim to divert children with lower support needs off the NDIS

أعلنت الحكومة الفيدرالية عن تغييرات في نظام التأمين الوطني ضد الاعاقة والمعروف مختصراً بـNDIS ومن بينها دمج بعض من الخدمات تحت برنامج جديد بعنوان Inclusive Employment Australia IEA بهدف تحسين جودة الخدمة وتوسيع نطاق الآهلية للعاملين، بحسب القائمين على هذا البرنامج.

Topics covered on NDIS reforms, the urgency of diversification, and business strategy: The Urgency of Diversification – A clear-eyed look at the specific NDIS reforms (Thriving Kids, Support Needs Assessments, new therapy guidelines) that are forcing business owners to rethink their reliance on a single funding stream. Assessing Your Risk & Auditing Your Strengths – Discover the first critical steps: calculate your business's true financial exposure to NDIS changes, then conduct an internal skills audit to uncover profitable service opportunities already within your team. Actionable Growth Strategies – Explore practical ways to expand your offerings beyond 1:1 therapy, including moving into new markets (B2B/B2G), embracing the “Minimum Viable Product” concept to launch new programs faster, and adopting the agile mindset needed to thrive through change.
