Albanese government’s aspirations are ‘inclusive, not exclusive’

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the government’s aspirations are “inclusive, not exclusive”. Mr Albanese addressed the National Press Club of Australia on Thursday and defended Labor’s plan to change the stage three tax cuts. “No one held back is about aspiration because that is a fundamental Labor value too,” Mr Albanese said. “Making sure that every Australian is encouraged to aim high, to pursue their dreams and reach their potential and to get a fair reward for the hard work they put in along the way. “Our government’s definition of aspiration is much bigger and broader than just the highest income level – our aspiration is inclusive, not exclusive because when no one is held back, and no one is left behind, everyone is lifted up.”
