@phocks @jules love it, especially the thought of over 1000 years of daily BOM rebrands! 😆
New interactive story from our team published this morning. The scale of these new tax cuts is simply staggering. (no prizes for guessing which socioecomic group benefits the most). Well done on this piece @jules and everyone!  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-04-28/stage-three-tax-cuts-to-scale/102268304
These tax cuts are set to reshape Australia's budget
