Headline check

The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.

  • The figure “10” is in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Figures are matched digit for digit, so a report that writes “forty per cent” out in words where the headline wrote “40%” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked

A plan for Australians to use their superannuation to make it easier to secure a home loan is set to be floated by Shadow Housing Minister Andrew Bragg.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has just sat down in the ABC Radio National Breakfast studio.

He's asked about the intergenerational report and projections Australia will remain in deficit over the next 40 years. Has the government given up returning the budget to surplus?

"The intergenerational report does paint a picture of some pretty serious budget pressures and economic risks but we're optimistic about the future because we've got a lot going for us as well."

He argues Australia's budget is better off than others because the debt profile "actually comes down over the 40 year period".

"Whereas in a lot of other countries, int he next decade and decades is going up," Chalmers says.

He said there are pressures in the housing market and the tax system but he hopes in time the changes including in the May budget -- including scaling back negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount -- will be vindicated in time.
