About the episode
Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers addresses concerns about three Iranian women's football team members returning home after seeking sanctuary in Australia, following their refusal to sing the national anthem during the Asian Cup. Chalmers discusses the government's response to record-high petrol prices, including increased ACCC surveillance, doubled penalties for fuel retailers, and the recent $16 million fine issued to Mobil for misleading behaviour. The Treasurer outlines measures to combat price gouging and cost of living pressures, including the release of fuel reserves to regional areas and upcoming legislation to increase maximum penalties to $100 million.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
