澳大利亚削减了家庭电池补贴,节省了6.7B美元,但赤字预计到2028/29年仍为36B美元。 Australia cut home battery subsidies, saving $6.7B, but deficits still projected at $36B by 2028/29.

澳大利亚政府通过限制家用电池补贴计划要求节省67亿美元, 比预期的多49亿美元, 将四年成本降至72亿美元。 The Australian government claimed a $6.7 billion savings by capping a home battery subsidy program that cost $4.9 billion more than expected, reducing its four-year cost to $7.2 billion. 财务主任吉姆·查姆斯将这一转移和其他政策归功于累计赤字减少22亿美元,称这是八年来最负责任的更新。 Treasurer Jim Chalmers credited the move and other policies for a $2.2 billion reduction in cumulative deficits, calling it the most responsible update in eight years. 然而,独立经济学家指出,出现节余的部分原因是最初低估了估算,如果没有成本井喷,政府的行动本会使预算恶化。 However, independent economists noted the savings were partly due to an initial underestimation, and without the cost blowout, government actions would have worsened the budget. 由于税收收入增加,本年度的赤字增加了54亿美元,但预计到2028/29年赤字仍为360亿美元。 The current year’s deficit improved by $5.4 billion due to stronger tax receipts, but the deficit is still projected at $36 billion by 2028/29. 长期改善依赖更高的所得税和支出控制,而保健、儿童保育和利息费用的上升则带来中期压力。 Long-term improvements rely on higher income taxes and spending controls, while rising healthcare, childcare, and interest costs pose medium-term pressures. 额外支出包括用于犹太人社区安全的1.04亿美元,用于CSIRO、精神保健服务的2.33亿美元,以及用于10万个新住宅的100亿美元。 Additional spending includes $104 million for Jewish community security, $233 million for the CSIRO, mental health services, and $10 billion for 100,000 new homes. 通货膨胀预测为3.75%,逆转了最近的实际工资增长。 Inflation is forecast at 3.75%, reversing recent real wage gains.
