  • Cuts and costings — Chalmers and moderator Laura Jayes pressed — Chalmers aggressively so — Taylor on what the Coalition will cut and the costing details of its policies. Taylor pointed to savings from using existing coal fired power for its nuclear plan and by relying on the private sector to boost housing supply. But no cuts were detailed.
  • A business tax cut? Angus Taylor also seemed to allude to a cut to the company tax rate but when pressed did not confirm. He initially said wait until costings are released next week, and then cited measures like the instant asset write-off as equating to a tax cut for small business. So no official company tax cut announcement there.
