The pay increase will begin on July 1 for millions of low-paid workers.

- It's tax time again. With many Australians starting to pull together their 2025-26 tax returns, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is warning people to stop claiming private expenses as work deductions, and to also stop under-declaring income. Some have been trying to pass off baby expenses, personal gifts and meal deliveries as 'work-related'. And many are failing to declare gifts and income on their returns. The ATO uses a suite of tools - including data matching, analytics and artificial intelligence - to understand taxpayer behaviour and identify red flags. ATO assistant commissioner Anita Challen goes through the do's and don'ts of claiming, with ABC business reporter Nassim Khadem.

- Why is Australia swapping to second-hand subs in AUKUS deal? | ABC NEWS

- Description
- Australia will no longer receive new submarines from the United States to bridge the gap between the current fleet to the new AUKUS fleet. Instead, the federal government will buy three second-hand Virginia-class submarines to replace aging Collins-class vessels.
The defence minister says the move will simplify navy operations. Experts agree the minister's "simplicity" argument holds, but say the main reason is that the United States is struggling to scale up shipbuilding capacity.
