Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark(ABC News: Natasha Johnson)

Nightlife News Breakdown with Philip Clark, joined by Peter Martin, Business and Economy Editor, The Conversation Australia & Visiting Fellow, Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University. The government's amended stage-three tax cuts will become law after Opposition Leader Peter Dutton affirmed that the Coalition would vote in parliament to pass them. Question time was animated, with the issue dominating proceedings as Labor goaded the Opposition and accused it of wanting to block tax relief for Australians. And as very widely predicted, the Reserve Bank of Australia decided to keep the cash rate target on hold at 4.35 per cent. Governor Michele Bullock warned, however, that "the job's not done" in her press conference after the announcement.
