Opposition leaders in New South Wales and Queensland have released their official budget responses, presenting different financial and social plans to challenge the current governments.

新南威爾斯州與昆士蘭州的反對黨領袖已發佈官方預算回應，提出不同的財務與社會計劃以挑戰現任政府。

In New South Wales, Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane has suggested a business-friendly financial plan focused on reducing payroll taxes. Specifically, the Coalition wants to raise the payroll tax threshold from $1.2 million to $1.5 million and lower the tax rate from 5.45% to 4.75% for companies spending less than $10 million on payroll. To help the housing market, Sloane proposed pausing developer contributions until June 30, meaning payments would be made when projects are finished rather than when they are approved. Furthermore, the Coalition wants to work more closely with the federal government to create a new Western Sydney City Deal. This would expand the metro network into south-western Sydney and ensure that 25% of infrastructure spending goes to regional areas. However, this plan includes stopping progress on the New England Renewable Energy Zone.

在新南威爾斯州，反對黨領袖 Kellie Sloane 建議了一項對企業友好的財務計劃，重點在於降低薪酬稅。具體而言，聯盟黨希望將薪酬稅門檻從 120 萬澳元提高至 150 萬澳元，並將薪酬支出低於 1,000 萬澳元的公司稅率從 5.45% 降低至 4.75%。為了協助房地產市場，Sloane 建議暫停開發商捐款至 6 月 30 日，這意味著款項將在項目完工後而非在批准時支付。此外，聯盟黨希望與聯邦政府更密切地合作，制定新的西悉尼城市協議。這將使地鐵網絡擴展至悉尼西南區，並確保 25% 的基礎設施支出投入區域地區。然而，該計劃包括停止新英格蘭可再生能源區的進展。

Meanwhile, in Queensland, Opposition Leader Steven Miles has focused his platform on reducing the cost of living and increasing government transparency. Miles proposed creating an independent bureau for community safety statistics so that crime data is not influenced by politics. His economic ideas include providing interest returns on rental bonds, offering free vehicle registration for apprentices and their supervisors, and putting extra resource royalty money into a special cost-of-living fund. These plans contrast with the Crisafulli LNP government's strategy to manage a debt of $216.4 billion. Both leaders are facing a difficult political environment, as the One Nation party has grown in popularity, challenging the traditional power of the two main parties in both states.

同時，在昆士蘭州，反對黨領袖 Steven Miles 將其政綱重點放在降低生活成本與提高政府透明度。Miles 建議成立一個獨立的社區安全統計局，使犯罪數據不受政治影響。他的經濟構思包括為租金押金提供利息回報、為學徒及其主管提供免費車輛登記，以及將額外的資源權利金撥入一個特別的生活成本基金。這些計劃與 Crisafulli LNP 政府管理 2,164 億澳元債務的策略形成對比。兩位領袖都面臨艱難的政治環境，因為 One Nation 黨的人氣上升，挑戰著兩州傳統兩大黨的權力。

Both opposition leaders have used their budget replies to offer alternative ways of governing, focusing on specific tax cuts, new infrastructure, and more transparent public data.

兩位反對黨領袖均利用其預算回應提供替代的治理方式，重點在於特定減稅、新基礎設施以及更透明的公共數據。
