Future eligibility for the <a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/living\/ndis-access-collapse-for-psychosocial-disability-sparks-concern\/\">NDIS<\/a> would be limited to Australian citizens, and existing recipients of these benefits and the NDIS will be grandfathered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My message is this: if you commit to Australia, Australia will commit to you,&#8221; Taylor said.<\/p>\n<p>From 2028\u201329, the bottom two income tax thresholds would be indexed to inflation and apply to about 85 per cent of income earners, with savings of $250 in the first year growing to more than $1,000 annually in the fourth year. The top two thresholds would be indexed from 2031\u201332.<\/p>\n<p>When resource windfalls are higher than forecast, the new Future Generations Fund would see 80 cents in every dollar used to pay down debt and invest in nation-building infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>On fuel security, the coalition would double minimum stockholding levels to 60 days for petrol, diesel and jet fuel, establish a new $800 million Australian<a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/news\/geelong-refinery-boosts-diesel-output-as-fuel-runs-short\/\"> Fuel Security<\/a> Facility, and reverse regulatory barriers. Labor&#8217;s Safeguard Mechanism would also be cancelled.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses with a turnover of less than $10 million will be able to immediately deduct assets costing up to $50,000.<\/p>\n<p>The coalition will also create a whole-of-nation National Security Strategy and increase defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP.<\/p>\n<p>Victorian Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson said private enterprise grew the economy, not the government.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will restore Australians\u2019 standard of living and protect our way of life,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/timesnewsgroup.com.au\/surfcoasttimes\/real-estate\/hia-says-federal-budget-should-reset-housing-policy\/\">Housing Industry Association<\/a> (HIA) managing director Jocelyn Martin said the HIA welcomed the ambition of the coalition&#8217;s budget reply.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a need to establish a long-term, multi-decade national settlement strategy that aligns population growth with housing system design, infrastructure investment and labour market needs,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Asylum Seeker Resource Centre chief executive Jana Favero said the coalition was deliberately misleading Australians about how the welfare system already operated to stoke fear and division.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s irresponsible and not credible economic policy.
