- immediate tax cuts for low to middle income earners by increasing the Low and Middle Income Tax Offset (LMITO)
- the ability for people aged 65 and 66 to contribute to super without meeting the work test requirements from 1 July 2020
- significant increases to funding for both health and aged care services
