Portfolio — 11 May 2026
Tribune’s note
Assistant Treasurer Daniel Mulino used pre-budget media releases on 11 May to frame housing supply as a first-order budget priority, citing $45 billion in announced initiatives. The package spans regulatory reform (EPBC Act, National Construction Code freeze), demand-side relief (5 percent home-deposit assistance for first-home buyers) and education affordability (20 percent HECS repayment reduction).
The framing anchors the budget in intergenerational fairness and productivity — language Mulino has now deployed across consecutive days of public messaging.
