兩位領導人都希望以不同的方式改變稅務制度並幫助民眾。

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。

Opposition leaders in New South Wales and Queensland have delivered formal budget replies, outlining divergent fiscal and social strategies to challenge incumbent governments.

新南威爾斯州與昆士蘭州的反對黨領袖已提交正式的預算回應，概述了截然不同的財政與社會策略，以挑戰現任政府。

In New South Wales, Opposition Leader Kellie Sloane has proposed a pro-business fiscal framework characterized by a reduction in payroll tax burdens. Specifically, the Coalition intends to elevate the payroll tax threshold from $1.2 million to $1.5 million and decrease the tax rate from 5.45 per cent to 4.75 per cent for entities with a payroll expenditure below $10 million. To stimulate housing viability, Sloane proposed a moratorium on developer contributions until June 30, shifting payment obligations from project approval to completion. Furthermore, the Coalition seeks a rapprochement with the federal government to establish a new Western Sydney City Deal, facilitating the expansion of the metro network into south-western Sydney and guaranteeing that 25 per cent of infrastructure expenditure is allocated to regional areas. This strategy coincides with a departure from the bipartisan clean energy road map, specifically through the cessation of progress on the New England Renewable Energy Zone.

在新南威爾斯州，反對黨領袖 Kellie Sloane 提出了一項親商的財政框架，其特點是減輕薪俸稅負擔。具體而言，聯盟黨打算將薪俸稅門檻從 120 萬澳元提高至 150 萬澳元，並將薪俸支出低於 1,000 萬澳元的實體之稅率從 5.45% 降低至 4.75%。為了刺激住房開發的可行性，Sloane 建議在 6 月 30 日之前暫停徵收開發商捐款，將付款義務從項目核准時移至完工時。此外，聯盟黨尋求與聯邦政府恢復關係，以建立新的西悉尼城市協議，促進地鐵網絡擴展至悉尼西南區，並確保 25% 的基礎設施支出分配給區域地區。這一策略同時伴隨著對兩黨一致清潔能源路線圖的背離，特別是停止推動新英格蘭再生能源區的進展。

Concurrently, in Queensland, Opposition Leader Steven Miles has articulated a platform focused on cost-of-living mitigation and institutional transparency. Miles proposed the establishment of an independent community safety statistics bureau to decouple crime data from political influence. His economic proposals include the implementation of interest returns on portable rental bonds, complimentary vehicle registration for apprentices and their supervisors, and the allocation of resource royalty windfalls into a dedicated cost-of-living fund. These initiatives are positioned against the Crisafulli LNP government's fiscal repair strategy, which involves managing a debt load of $216.4 billion. Both leaders are operating within a political climate where One Nation has demonstrated significant growth in primary polling, challenging the traditional bipartisan dominance in their respective jurisdictions.

與此同時，在昆士蘭州，反對黨領袖 Steven Miles 闡述了一個側重於緩解生活成本和制度透明度的平台。Miles 建議成立一個獨立的社區安全統計局，使犯罪數據脫離政治影響。他的經濟提案包括：對可攜式租金押金實施利息回報、為學徒及其主管提供免費車輛登記，以及將資源權益金的意外收益撥入專門的生活成本基金。這些舉措是針對 Crisafulli LNP 政府的財政修復策略，後者涉及管理 2,164 億澳元的債務負荷。兩位領袖均處於一個 One Nation 黨在初步民調中表現出顯著增長的政治氣候中，挑戰著其各自管轄區內傳統的兩黨主導地位。

Both opposition leaders have utilized their budget replies to present alternative governance models centered on targeted tax relief, infrastructure development, and social transparency.

兩位反對黨領袖均利用其預算回應，提出了以針對性減稅、基礎設施發展與社會透明度為中心的替代治理模式。
