About Brisbane

Why is Brisbane a good sailing destination?

Sailing in Brisbane, Queensland, is an exquisite experience, and at Yachting.Rent, we believe in showcasing the best of this remarkable destination. The city is renowned for its beautiful and diverse waterways, with an array of sailing options that make it a top destination for both seasoned sailors and novices alike.

The Brisbane River, a meandering waterway that carves its way through the heart of the city, offers a unique sailing experience. As you cruise along this magnificent river, you’ll have a front-row seat to some of the city’s most iconic sights, from the stunning skyline to the charming riverside parks and historical buildings. The river provides a tranquil setting for day cruises, with the option to stop at one of the riverside restaurants or cafes for a delightful meal.

Venture further into Moreton Bay, and you’ll be greeted by stunning islands and pristine waters. The Bay, home to Moreton Island and North Stradbroke Island, offers excellent opportunities for sailing, swimming, diving, and even spotting dolphins. Whether you want to explore the islands, cast a line for some deep-sea fishing, or simply relax on your yacht while enjoying the panoramic ocean views, Moreton Bay provides an ideal setting.

Weather is another factor that makes Brisbane a desirable sailing destination. With a subtropical climate, the city boasts warm, sunny weather for most of the year, perfect for sailing. The summer months provide ideal wind conditions for sailing enthusiasts, while the milder winter months offer a comfortable sailing experience.

The accessibility of Brisbane also contributes to its appeal as a sailing destination. Brisbane is well-connected by air and road, making it easy for domestic and international travellers to reach. Once you’re here, you’ll find a range of facilities and services catered to sailors, from fully equipped marinas to sailing clubs and schools.

In conclusion, Brisbane’s diverse waterways, favourable weather, excellent accessibility, and range of sailing-related facilities and services make it an outstanding sailing destination.

What Choose

Sailing boat or Catamaran, what to sail in Brisbane

At Yachting.Rent, we provide an array of premium boats that promise a memorable sailing experience in Brisbane, Queensland. However, one question we often encounter is – should you choose a sailing boat or a catamaran for your nautical adventure? The answer depends on your specific needs, preferences, and sailing experience.

Sailing boats are traditional, romantic, and provide a pure sailing experience. They’re often preferred by sailing purists for their responsiveness and deep-sea capability. A sailing boat will lean into the wind and allow you to feel every shift in the breeze. They’re perfect for navigating Brisbane River, where their narrow beams and deep keels make them ideal for tight maneuvers. Sailing boats we offer vary in size and design, allowing you to find one that matches your skills and requirements. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor looking for a responsive vessel or a beginner looking for a leisurely cruise, we’ve got a sailing boat for you.

Catamarans, on the other hand, offer stability, space, and speed. Their dual-hull design makes them incredibly stable, reducing seasickness. They’re renowned for their spacious living areas, making them perfect for groups and families. You can enjoy a sunny day out on Moreton Bay with a BBQ on the deck or relax in the comfortable indoor areas. Their shallow draft allows you to navigate closer to the shore and explore areas a sailing boat might not reach. Our fleet of catamarans includes various sizes and models, providing a unique blend of comfort and performance.

In conclusion, both sailing boats and catamarans offer unique benefits. Your choice between a sailing boat and a catamaran for your Brisbane adventure should reflect your sailing proficiency, the size of your group, and your desired experience. At Yachting.Rent, we’re here to assist you in making that choice. We ensure a personalized experience, matching you with a vessel that complements your skills and caters to your needs, promising an unforgettable sailing journey in the enchanting waters of Brisbane, Queensland.

My family and I chartered the Seawind 1260 for 5 nights in Moreton Bay and have nothing but good things to say about the experience. I have limited experience sailing but with Bazza’s training it was really easy to sail anywhere and if i did have a question Bazza and Kerry were more than happy…

Our family have chartered with Moreton Bay Holidays Afloat a number of times now and we have always found them to be amazing people to deal with. The boats are in perfect condition and are beautifully presented. The support you receive from Kerry and Bazza is second to none. Exploring Moreton Bay on a Seawind…

We were very impressed with Moreton Maiden, the new-to-us cruising area of Moreton bay and the wonderful hosts. As long term sailors, and now frequent bareboat charterers, we would say Moreton bay holidays afloat have by far the best kept boats and the loveliest hosts that we have experienced in Australia!

Chartered Moreton Maiden with a group of 20 friends and family for the day. Very easy to organise with the company, good communication, professional experience, and a really hassle free day. Craig and Barry were great captain and Co captain. All guests commented on what a wonderful day it was. Couldn’t recommend this mob highly…

Craig provided a great experience for me and my international guests. We thoroughly enjoyed fishing, bbq, sailing and snorkling at the wrecks off Moreton Island.

As a frequent guest on charters previously run by the new owners of this marina I can highly recommend this business. Kerry and Bazza have many years of experience in yachting hospitality and you will not find a more knowledgeable captain than Bazza ! Kerry is a fantastic chef and all around seasoned professional when…

Bareboat Charters

A bareboat charter on Moreton bay is a unique sailing holiday designed for either families or a small group of friends.

A bareboat charter is bare of crew but fully equipped to sail, lodge and cook for two to ten people. Not surprisingly, you must meet certain qualifications before your allowed to sail away with our catamaran! We require you to fill out a sailing resume to demonstrate your ability to handle the yacht, the weather conditions and the various systems aboard. We’ll also need to see a physical demonstration of your skills upon arrival.

In practical terms, you should have a reasonable amount of recent coastal cruising experience in a yacht more than 25 foot long (this need not be a boat you own however). For lesser experienced customers, we can provide a sailing assistant for part of your charter. This removes the responsibility and stress away from your shoulders and places it on the skipper. Over the years, this approach has worked exceptionally well with guests able to relax more and enjoy their holiday around Moreton Bay.

With so many outdoor activities to keep you entertained and a vast number of secluded anchorages to explore you’ll be struggling to fit everything in. Moreton Island National park is a popular destination offering guests natural beauty at its best. Try your hand at snorkeling around the Tangalooma wrecks while feeding the fish by hand or throw the crab pots over the side and catch the evening’s entre, complementing your BBQ dinner on the back deck of Aristocat.

Heading to the southern end of Moreton, a climb up the Big Sand Hills offers views all the way across to the Pacific ocean and for those adrenalin junkies try your hand at sand tobogganing.

As an alternative, your bareboat charter might have you head south and enjoy the peaceful anchorages offered towards South Stradbroke. After an interesting sail through the winding channels along the inside of South Stradbroke, enjoy some swimming and fishing around Jumpinpin and the popular Bedrooms anchorage. A little further south, Southport offers a great anchorage where guests can take a short walk across to a patrolled surf beach, explore the popular Surfers Paradise and dine at Marina Mirage.

A bareboat charter includes: a unique sailing holiday, marine park fees, RIB dinghy, dinghy fuel , gas, 2 x paddle boards, snorkeling and sporting equipment.

3 day/2 night bareboat charter from $4,050 .

4 day/3 night bareboat charter from $5,000 .

5 day/4 night bareboat charter from $5,750 .

6 day/5 night bareboat charter from $6,900 .

If you are planning an event on the waters of the Brisbane River,

Here are some tips to make your occasion more enjoyable. .

•  Time of Year – Firstly, know which time of the year you want to book a luxury boat charter on the Brisbane River. Weather plays a big part in the type of experience you are seeking. For instance, during peak summer, it’s often hot and humid, and rain can be frequent and heavy. During the winter, it is drier; however, the evenings can be cold. Fortunately, you don’t have to let the rain bother you too much. Our yacht has many indoor spaces for you to enjoy and the Sun Room and spacious Saloon are completely weather-proof.
• Food and Drinks – With our commercial-size kitchen,  you can hire a caterer and enjoy professionally-prepared dishes. Or, you can throw some snags on the BBQ and chat as you share a casual lunch together.  We have all the platters, plates and cutlery you could possibly require so there is no need to bring any plastic plates or utensils onboard during your luxury boat hire. 
• Time of Day – Do you enjoy the sunset and the stars or want a warm day for swimming and sun-bathing on the bow of the MV Baroness? You may choose to enjoy the sunset with bubbly and light snacks to watch the lights of  Brisbane City and sneak a peek inside the waterfront mansions as you cruise the river under the stars.  The MV Baroness is well-lit for socialising under the stars with twinkling bistro lights on the Bow and Back Deck.   
•  Swimming – Only on a day trip to Moreton Bay can swimming be permitted. The size of the MV Baroness makes it difficult to anchor too close to land so swimmers must be proficient.   The MV Baroness has a swim mat onboard and range of floatation toys for guests to enjoy.  There is also a HUGE water Trampoline available.  Ask our booking agent Janine about it.

How can Baroness Classic Charters help you?

There are many ways for you to use our well-appointed luxury yacht: 

Corporate Events : Plan your next corporate event on a chartered boat. Having your corporate event on a luxury yacht will not only impress your guests, but it will offer your staff a VIP experience in which you can show them how much they mean to the functioning of your company.

Parties and Special Occasions : You can also use a yacht for special occasions such as an engagement party, a wedding anniversary, a wedding, or even a hens or bucks party. Not only will the setting and the views impress your guests − but having this as your background for your photos will be pure magic. 

Family Fun Days : Another option is to charter a yacht simply to unwind. Once onboard, you can enjoy a sunset and a few drinks with friends and family.

Memorials : Did your dear departed love the water and the river?  It may be fitting to celebrate their life with an ash scattering or memorial on the Brisbane River waterways  We allow one-hour cruises for these event and they are priced at $1,000 per hour for up to 100 guests.

Boat Rental in Brisbane

Brisbane boat rental

Also known as "River City," Brisbane is one of Australia's most visited cities. The Brisbane River winds its way around the city, offering riverside views and activities out on the water, on the waterfront, and into the vast Coral Sea as it empties its way to Moreton Bay. With the River and the Bay as its doorsteps, Brisbane locals and tourists alike have the great outdoors as their playground. From yachts to speedboats to catamarans, to floating venues, Brisbane is home to hundreds of boating and sailing enthusiasts that have an endless list of water activities to enjoy on a daily basis. From swimming to snorkeling, scuba diving, cruising, and sailing, Brisbane is a water lover's playground.

Why rent a boat on holiday in Brisbane?

Whether you want to cruise up and down the winding Brisbane River or you want to go out into the open waters of Moreton Bay, a private boat rental is the best way to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The River itself offers plenty of recreational activities, but the open waters provide a different world of island hopping, scuba diving, and even whale watching during the migration period of humpback whales from June to November. You can opt to rent a speedboat for a day, a catamaran for a large group of 30 people, or a private yacht for a romantic sunset cruise along the River. Whatever kind of boat and activity you wish to enjoy in Brisbane's waters, you will surely find what you're looking for, for an unforgettable Brisbane holiday.

How much is speed boat rental in Brisbane?

Speedboats are a fast, efficient, and convenient way to get from one riverside to location to another or to reach a nearby beach from Brisbane. A private speedboat rental for a day can cost around USD850 for a group of 8, while a join-it tour can cost around $100 per person. Private speed boat transfers are a great way to beat the traffic or to enjoy a scenic way to travel within the Brisbane River. Or if you need to get to an event fast, a speedboat transfer is the perfect way to arrive at a special occasion in style. A two-way speed boat transfer in Brisbane can cost around $200.

How much is catamaran rental in Brisbane?

Catamarans offer more space and stability than a monohull, making it a great option for large groups. They're ideal for a sunset cruise on the River, an easy day cruise and perfect for water sports activities such as kayaking, jetskiing, or paddleboarding as water sport tools are easily carried on board. A 36' sailing catamaran can cost around $400 per hour in Brisbane, while a power catamaran can cost around $750 per hour.

Rent a boat for a day in Brisbane

Do you want to experience Brisbane in one single day? Then renting a boat in Brisbane is the perfect way to get from one spot to another without having to brave the traffic and public commute. Hop onboard your private boat rental in Brisbane and get to explore the riverfront attractions with ease, comfort, and luxury. If you're renting a boat in Brisbane on a Saturday, start your day at the Davies Park Markets. A live band serenades market goers by the river starting at 9 am. Listen to the music as you stroll your way through the stalls selling fresh produce, artisanal homemade food, and have coffee and breakfast by the riverbank.

You can then head to Kangaroo Point, where you can enjoy a kayak or paddleboard down the river, or enjoy an outdoor rock climb. For lunch, head over to the Teneriffe Boardwalk, a hip location with unique restaurants, cafes, and bars. After lunch, cruise down the river and head over to Streets Beach, which is Australia's largest inner-city, man-made beach. Enjoy an hour or two of swimming or people watching. Hop back on board and enjoy an hour of sightseeing onboard your private boat. Get to see the Botanic Gardens, the Maritime Museum, and the iconic Story Bridge. End your full-day boat rental with a sunset cruise on the river, where you get to witness the sky slowly turn from blue to different shades of red and orange, and slowly watch the Brisbane skyline light up.

Rent a boat for the weekend in Brisbane

A weekend boat rental in Brisbane is an excellent way to escape the city and explore Moreton Bay. With over 360 islands around this body of water, some of the islands are populated, while some are national parks, while some are too tiny to visit. With 283 sunny days per year, the nearby islands off the Brisbane coast are a definite weekend island-hopping activity you shouldn't miss. Here is a sample itinerary for your weekend boat rental in Brisbane exploring Moreton Bay:

Day 1: Moreton Island

Located 40km offshore, Moreton Island is Brisbane's most popular island destination. The island is known for its dunes, 4WD driving, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, and nature walks. A resort is also located on the islands, where you can have a gourmet lunch or dinner or witness their guests and staff feeding dolphins by the beach. Sandboarding or sand tobogganing is a popular activity, so head over to the desert or to the Little Sandhills to enjoy this unique activity. The island is also famous for surfing, bird watching, and even whale watching during the migratory period of humpback whales from June to November off the waters of Moreton Island.

Day 2: Peel Island

For a day of snorkeling and scuba diving, Peel Island is perfect with its famous shipwrecks, the Platypus Wreck and the Tangalooma Wreck. It is a national park and a great spot to witness dugongs that flock to its waters in the morning.

Day 3: St. Helena Island

Visit this island, formerly known as Noogoon, before you head back to Brisbane. It used to be a prison but is now a heritage-listed park, where you can book a tour of the prison, its ground, and even a ghost tour of the ruins.

Rent a boat for diving in Brisbane

Brisbane has world-class diving to offer for both beginner and advanced divers. With plenty of wrecks, reefs, and marine life, Brisbane's underwater paradise is best enjoyed with a boat rental in Brisbane that can take you to these popular dive spots. Flinders Reef is the only true coral reef in Brisbane, and you can find over 150 specials of marine life here, such as stingrays, turtles, and over 100 species of coral. Another popular diving site Manta Ray Bommie is found on North Stradbroke Island. Within 8 to 12 meters, you can see Leopard sharks, Loggerhead turtles, manta rays, guitar sharks, octopuses, and bull rays. Shark Alley in Finally, Flat Rock is a spot ideal for more advanced divers, and marine life here includes wobbegongs, a large variety of pelagics, and schools of rays.

Party boat rental in Brisbane

Party boat rentals are popular in Brisbane as a unique way to celebrate a special occasion. With live entertainment, a stage, excellent sound system, and free-flowing alcohol and finger food, a party boat rental in Brisbane cruising along the Brisbane River is the perfect way to have an unforgettable time with your friends and loved ones. Brisbane is the perfect blend of a metropolitan city with a laid back atmosphere. With most of the locals and tourists spending time outdoors, on the riverside or out in the water, it's only fitting that renting a boat is the best way to truly experience the natural scenery and surroundings that make Brisbane a true River City.

Brisbane reviews.

Life is made up of moments that are truly hard to forget! My partner provided me with one of the best birthday presents anyone could ever ask for. I was under the impression we would be staying in an air bnb but when we arrived at a luxurious property and the gate drew back, my surprise took a turn and I quickly realised this was not the place I would be staying. The walkway down to the boat made me very giddy indeed as this was not something you experience every day. We were met by Grant and Carolyn all dressed in boating regalia and the tone was quickly set by their wonderful greeting and eagerness to provide a first-class service. This tone didn’t drop an iota throughout the trip. Every single detail was meticulously planned and I felt like I was royalty for the weekend. The Yacht itself was decadent and opulent beyond what thoughts I could muster. My partner and I did not have to worry about anything at all on the yacht as we were waited on hand and foot by these wonderful people. I have worked in hospitality for the majority of my life and I believe my standards have always been high…..these guys blew it out of the water…..and then some. You have the choice to do exactly as you please and they facilitate all that you require. We got to jump from the top of the boat and go swimming, we visited an idyllic isolated island and had a champagne picnic and we were treated to one of the best meals I have ever had and Grant and Carolyn had just themselves to organise such a ridiculously mouth watering meal. Such was the decency and salt of the earth nature of these guys that we asked them to join us for a few drinks in the evening and we had an absolute blast with them. Top shelf spirits and wines were all part of the package and you really did feel like you would never get an experience like this ever again. I can’t speak highly enough of what this trip meant to us and given the opportunity; we will be embarking on such a voyage in the near future. This trip would not have even been close to what it was without the decency, generosity and kindness that the hosts provided all the way through.

We had an excellent trip with Carlo who took me and wife around Sydney Harbour and Rose Bay for our wedding anniversary. He helped cook our food and made the day special for us. The boat was clean and had all the necessarily facilities, including a lilypad and a stand up paddle-board to use

We had such a blast for my sister's Hen party. The boat was spacious for our 11 person group and the harbor was amazing! Alex, our skipper, was so friendly and helpful and got us through the harbor safe and sound! We would absolutely book again, it was the highlight of our trip.

Juliet was fantastic to work with when organising the charter! We had a fantastic afternoon with our skipper, Tom, who brought a great presence on board - and manned the BBQ. The boat was lovely with great amenities, even having salad dressings available. Everything was clean and well cared for, and we got to see the best of Sydney harbour on our sail. Thanks to Juliet and Tom for an amazing afternoon!

A fantastic day around our beautiful Sydney Harbour with Robyn and Captain Elaine. The boat was kept immaculate, and both Robyn & the Captain were very accomodating and knowledgeable. Really lovely to spend the day with them, and a delight to be onboard. Our guests had a great time. We will definitely be back! The Quinns

we had a great time. everyone enjoyed to the fullest. the best thing about this trip was the weather. because of the best weather we can see and cherish the best view of the sunset and the beautiful city. shoutout to ryan our skipper. thank you

Lake Michigan Boating Guide

Table of Contents

Last Updated on August 23, 2024 by Boatsetter Team

With over 1,600 miles of coastline to explore, Lake Michigan can’t be beat for gunkholing, cruising, and sailboat racing. One of the five Great Lakes, this giant body of water is over 300 miles long, has more than 22,000 square miles of surface area, and borders four sates so there’s always somewhere to go and somewhere to rent a boat with a sharing service like Boatsetter. From Indiana to Chicago and Milwaukee to Mackinac, there are dozens of secluded anchorages, state parks, and charming waterfront towns to visit.

Where to Go

You could spend years of summers exploring all that Lake Michigan offers but if you have just a few days of boat rental each season, consider checking out some of these destinations.

Grand Traverse Bay is well-protected and generally calm even if Lake Michigan itself is less so. Learn about Ernest Hemmingway who was from the area or explore the town of Charlevoix that is split in two by a canal which leads to Round Pond and Lake Charlevoix. Bring or rent bikes and ride the 26-mile Little Traverse Wheelway for some exercise.

Visit scenic Door County in Wisconsin on the lake’s western shore. The Door County Lighthouse Festival is popular as are July 4 th fireworks in Egg Harbor. And you don’t want to miss the Sturgeon Bay Harvest Festival in late September. Harbor hopping in this area can’t be beat.

Beaver Island is the opposite of busy Mackinac. This remote island is 35 miles from Charlevoix on the mainland and tends to be a quiet respite with an unpretentious municipal dock and fun toy museum. The beaches are pristine and you won’t want to miss the Whiskey Point Lighthouse and the Beaver Head Lighthouse for their spectacular views. Check the weather before crossing from the mainland so you don’t get caught in 30-mile winds which are not uncommon here.

Activities & Highlights

Whether you’re in Milwaukee, Chicago, or Door County, there’s much to do during the summer including live music, wine tastings and art festivals. One big draw is the Chicago Air & Water Show that takes place in August and on a boat, you’ll have front row seats to the action. Another can’t miss event is the Playpen boat party which is like a giant tailgate party for boaters that draws in excess of 800 boats in late July.

There are also sailing regattas like the famous “Mac” race that runs from the Chicago Yacht Club to Mackinac Island. This race takes place in July, is over 300 miles long, and over 125 years old. Join the sailboat send off in Chicago or welcome them at the finish line at the island and partake of all the activities and celebrations on both sides of this classic event.

Lake Michigan is long and it can build up seriously large waves when a northerly wind runs along its entire length. Always check the weather before departing, especially if you’ll be boating farther south around Chicago where the weather and sea state can get gnarly. Freshwater forms steeper waves than saltwater because it’s less dense and running into a wall of square waves is no fun.

It can also get very cold in winter with temps below freezing in January near the Windy City. Target to rent a boat in the area from May to October but be ready to change course or cruising plans, especially in spring and fall when the weather may be iffy. Dress appropriately, bring lots of layers, pack flashlights in case you’re caught out after dark, and don’t forget some extra food and water.

Rules & Regulations

There are a few things to know before you untie the dock lines. Like in most other states, the Coast Guard requires all children under 13 to wear a lifejacket when aboard a vessel under way, and there must be a sufficient number of PFDs for the rest of the people aboard as well. You as the operator, cannot bring the boat within 150 feet of a person in the water for safety reasons – unless you’re participating in watersports.

Also, Lake Michigan is located in its entirety within the United States which means there are no check-in requirements for Canadian immigration or customs. You’ll have a bureaucracy-free run of the whole lake.

Serious Boating

Just because it’s called a lake doesn’t mean you should take it less seriously than coastal boating on the ocean. The Great Lakes are massive bodies of water and Lake Michigan can be nearly 200 miles across so it will take some time to traverse. Be boating savvy and prepared. All this said, there are great anchorages, wonderful beaches, and much to do on its shores so book a boat and have fun all summer long

Everything You Need to Know: Low Maintenance Boats

Ministers Treasury portfolio

• Transcripts

Press conference, Brisbane

Subjects: Reserve Bank reform, Measuring What Matters, NDIS reform, Brisbane Metro electric bus depot

JIM CHALMERS:

First of all, I wanted to say that our hearts go out to the loved ones and the co‑workers of the miner who has been lost tragically in tragic circumstances in Central Queensland doing important but dangerous work. We know that this will be a really hard time for the workers and families of the Bowen Basin and everyone associated with that really important industry. And so our hearts go out to them.

I’m here this morning with Corrinne McMillan, the absolutely sensational state Member for Mansfield, and also with Councillor Ryan Murphy. We’re having a sticky at what is going to be an absolutely incredible piece of public infrastructure. This is what happens when governments work together to fund the public transport and the local infrastructure that local people need and deserve. Whether it’s this depot here or the new bus station down there all of the money that’s being contributed by the council, by the state government down the road here and by the federal government means that we are working closely together to build the public transport that we know is such an important part of this part of South East Queensland that Corinne and I are really proud to represent.

So this is a massive site here – a 10 hectare site – for the electric fleet for the Brisbane Metro. It can be a depot and also used for washing and maintenance, but also really importantly and really proudly where these buses can be charged. And we’re really quite delighted that Rochedale has been chosen as the site for that. We’re grateful to the council and for the opportunity to work together to make sure that our part of the world is where these beautiful electric buses will be charged. Whether it’s the slow charger overnight or the fast charger in there, in what looks like a massive aircraft hangar, this is a really exciting piece of infrastructure.

So the Brisbane Metro is about $1.2 billion, about $300 million of that is Commonwealth money. We’re very proud to contribute that. And a key part of the Brisbane Metro project is right here at Rochedale. And that’s why we’re having a look at it today.

I need to cover off a couple of national issues and then I’m happy to take some questions.

First of all, when it comes to the RBA review and the reforms to the Reserve Bank, our reforms are all about modernising and strengthening the Reserve Bank for the future. It’s about making sure that it has the structures, the decision‑making abilities, the people and the culture that we need for the Reserve Bank to continue to make its really important decisions in our economy. It’s such a crucial institution in our national economy and we want to make sure that it is as strong and as modern and as independent as it can be, and that’s what’s guided us when it comes to these Reserve Bank reforms.

Now, we want these changes to endure after changes in governments, and that’s why we’ve taken a really bipartisan approach to the recommendations of the review and the legislation which is before the parliament right now. I’ve decided that the most important thing that we can do here to land these reforms is to make sure that the major parties come together in the spirit of bipartisanship so that we can get cracking on these really important changes.

The Governor of the Reserve Bank supports these changes. The government has proposed these changes in good faith after an independent review, and we need the Coalition to come on board as well. I’ve had, I think, 3 face‑to‑face meetings with the Shadow Treasurer. I’ve arranged 3 briefings with the Treasury department and with the review panel. We’ve exchanged a bunch of letters, as you’ve read about in the media today, and that’s all about making sure that the central bank of this country is above and beyond partisan politics.

We want to make sure that the independent Reserve Bank is above and beyond partisan politics, and that’s what’s guided us at every single stage of trying to land these important reforms. There have been about half a dozen areas where there have been line ball calls or issues raised by the Shadow Treasurer in good faith, and we have accommodated each of those sets of views that have been provided by the Coalition. We’ve done that very deliberately.

I believe we’ve got our differences – myself and Angus Taylor – but in this instance I think he’s got the right instincts and the right intentions. We’ve been engaging and negotiating in good faith, and wherever there’s been a line ball call, wherever there’s been a view put to me by the opposition I’ve tried to accommodate that view. I want these changes to be above and beyond partisan politics. I want them to be bipartisan, and that’s what’s driven me at every stage.

Now, in terms of the remaining couple of issues that we are working through, we’ve made it really clear, for example, that we are prepared to limit the parliament’s override powers to emergency situations, to rare instances. That has come about in the discussions between myself and the opposition.

We’ve also been prepared to accommodate the opposition’s view when it comes to the makeup of the new monetary policy board. Under the arrangements that I’ve proposed to the opposition in the interests of getting a deal here, I have proposed that everyone who’s on the current Reserve Bank board would go on the monetary policy board unless they write to me and indicate a willingness to go on the governance board instead. The Reserve Bank Governor has made clear her views – she would like to see some continuation and experience on both boards, but I’ve been prepared to make that proposal to the opposition in good faith.

So this is all about strengthening and modernising the Reserve Bank in the most bipartisan way that we can do that. As I said, wherever the opposition has come to me with a proposal in good faith, I’ve tried to accommodate that. My goal here is to try to legislate these changes before the end of the year so that they can start at the beginning of next year. It’s dragged on too long, frankly, and we want to get cracking. That’s why I’ve put these proposals in good faith. The ball is now in the Shadow Treasurer’s court. We’ll see if he can carry his colleagues on some of these really important issues. I don’t want to negotiate with him through the media; I’ll negotiate with him directly and engage with him directly, as I have been doing in good faith. But I think it’s time to end this dragging out for too long so we can get cracking from the start of next year.

A couple of other issues more briefly. First of all, later today the Australian Bureau of Statistics will put out the dashboard for the government’s wellbeing framework. This is all about measuring what matters in addition to the usual economic indicators, not instead of them. It’s all about measuring our progress in the areas we care deeply about – health and sustainability and progress and the pressures that people are under.

Now, I want to be really upfront about the data that will be released today. Some of this data is still too old and there’s still too many holes in the data that the ABS has. And I want to be really clear about that. You know, we believe deeply in this wellbeing framework. We want to measure what matters in our economy and in our society, but we recognise that some of the data is still too old. There are still too many holes in the data, and that’s why I’ve provided funding in the most recent Budget to help the Australian Bureau of Statistics fill in some of these holes and make sure that we get more regular data between now and when the first full government update happens in 2026.

So some progress today, but we need some perspective on that. It’s an update to the dashboard. It’s not the full update that you’ll see from the government in 2026, and I’ve provided some funding to make sure that the ABS can fill this in – these holes in the data which are still there.

In addition to that, I just wanted to say a couple of things about the parliamentary week just finished.

The government, the Albanese government, has been focused on the main game and our opponents have been focused on playing political games with national security. We have maintained a focus on the cost of living and responsible economic management. Just in the course of the last week, we started the process of legislating paying super on Paid Parental Leave. We’ve ticked off the world’s largest solar precinct. We’ve strengthened our relations with Indonesia. We’ve made progress on strengthening the National Disability Insurance Scheme. But all throughout we’ve maintained a focus on rolling out cost‑of‑living relief: a tax cut for every taxpayer; energy bill relief for every household with a big contribution from the Queensland state government as well; cheaper medicines; cheaper early childhood education; help with rent; getting wages moving again after a decade of deliberate wage stagnation. This is our focus on the cost of living.

Now, during the week our opponents asked every single question about the Middle East and no questions at all about middle Australia. And I just think that shows how out of whack their priorities are. Cost of living is the biggest issue that we confront. When we do mobile offices in local communities and we engage in these neighbourhoods, the cost of living is the biggest issue people confront. And the Coalition have completely vacated the field when it comes to inflation and the economy more broadly. We know that because they didn’t ask us any questions.

Now, the next election will be about responsible economic management. We’ve turned 2 big Liberal deficits into 2 big Labor surpluses. We’ve found savings in the budget. We funded our priorities and we’ve rolled out substantial and meaningful and responsible cost‑of‑living help. The next election won’t be a spendathon. The next election will be about responsible economic management. It’s what we’ve delivered over the course of the last couple of years. The Reserve Bank Governor says our surpluses are helping in the fight against inflation. You can expect from us to maintain a focus on the cost of living and responsible economic management even as our opponents have vacated the field.

Happy to take some questions.

JOURNALIST:

Just on the reforms, Treasurer, how many RBA board members have indicated to you they’re willing to shift to that governance board?

The Reserve Bank Governor has had a number of conversations with members of the Reserve Bank Board. I was obligated earlier in the year to write to the members of the existing board to ask them what their preferences were and then the Reserve Bank Governor had conversations with each of them to see where their thinking was at. The Shadow Treasurer has made it really clear that he would prefer every existing member of the board to go straight on to the monetary policy board. The proposal I’ve put to him is that that would be the case until or unless a member of the current board writes to me and says they’d rather be on governance.

I don’t want to get into the private conversations that the Reserve Bank Governor has with members of her board. I want to be respectful about that. And I’ve been respectful to the Shadow Treasurer, too, in trying to accommodate this view that he has.

So you’ve spoken to them through the head of the board?

I’ve written to them earlier in the year, as I was required to do, to tell them about the process around the Reserve Bank reforms and to seek their views on where they would prefer to serve. The Reserve Bank Governor then followed that up with private conversations with each of them. And I don’t really want to go into the nature of those private conversations.

Treasurer, is your offer to allow all existing board members to transfer across to that rate setting board an acknowledgement that the Coalition’s concerns regarding the Labor‑aligned appointments are well‑founded?

No, they’re not well‑founded, but I don’t want to get into a slanging match about that. I hope I’ve conveyed to you the respectful way that I’m engaging with the opposition on these questions. They have raised – I think in good faith – probably half a dozen issues where they’ve had a view, either where the review itself said that there’s a line ball call to be made, or where they’ve got a particularly strong view about other elements of it. I’ve tried to accommodate that view.

I think what I’ve demonstrated is a real commitment to the independence of the Reserve Bank. I want the Reserve Bank to be independent and modern and I want it to be strong as an institution into the future, and I want those changes to survive changes to government. And so that’s why I’ve put so much time and effort into being as bipartisan as I can about these issues. They’re really important issues. And as I said before, I think Angus Taylor comes to them in a serious way. He’s put proposals to me and I’ve done my best to accommodate them because I want the outcome to be a set of changes which both of the major parties in the parliament can agree to.

Treasurer, you refer to these, I think you said, rare emergency circumstances where the government may be able to override the RBA’s decisions.

Can you give us an example of what those circumstances might be?

What we’ve seen around the world is that where these powers exist, these powers are limited. As it stands right now, the parliament can override decisions of the independent Reserve Bank. The Reserve Bank review proposed that we get rid of those powers to enhance the independence of the Reserve Bank. Some of the Coalition members of a parliamentary committee indicated their opposition to that change, and so what we’ve tried to find is a way that accommodates all of these views. And we think the best way to do that is to maintain the override power that the parliament has but to limit it to emergency circumstances and not just differences of opinion. And so we have drafted some amendments that would give effect to that.

Thank you for that, but can you give an example, I guess, of when these situations might come into play?

I think you can imagine a situation where there has been some substantial structural or institutional failure or some kind of other emergency around perhaps the personnel of the Reserve Bank and its board or something like that, some total breakdown in the usual kind of decision‑making capacity of the Reserve Bank. But we’re very deliberately not stipulating the exact circumstances. We’re trying to limit the circumstances.

You know, every time that there’s an interest rate decision, for example, the Greens in their usual way will say that the parliament should override the decision. That’s a difference of opinion. What we want to do is to limit this override to genuine emergency circumstances. That’s the proposal we’ve put to the Shadow Treasurer. In fairness to him, he needs to have discussions now with his colleagues, but I’m pretty confident that all of the issues he’s raised about this issue and the other 5 issues that we’ve accommodated in a really serious way in the proposals that we’ve put forward.

Treasurer, are you confident that these reforms will be rolled out before the next election?

Well, that’s my objective. I’ve learned not to pocket outcomes from the Senate. Obviously we’re in the hands of the Senate when it comes to all of this. I’ve certainly done everything I can to make it possible for this to be legislated this year and to come in ideally in January next year. That’s my preference and I think the Governor’s preference as well. We missed the first deadline – let’s be upfront about that. It was the 1st of July, and the reason we missed that is because the Greens and the Liberals teamed up in the Senate to send it to a committee which delayed some of our consideration of some of these really important issues. Having missed that first deadline we don’t want it to drag out even longer. So we’re aiming for the start of next year. That means legislating this year, and we’ve done everything we can to land that bipartisan position that would make that possible.

Treasurer, given the concessions you’ve now made to the Coalition on the specialist monetary policy board and on section 11, what effects will your legislation actually have on the way the RBA operates, and how will the central bank be different to what it is now?

I think the Reserve Bank will be more transparent. It will be more independent. It will have a specialist monetary policy board and a governance board. And what we want to do when it comes to the appointments to both of those boards is recognise the opportunity that we have in setting up 2 boards to make sure that we’ve got the right people making decisions about interest rates and we’ve got the right people running the Reserve Bank itself. And we intend to make, first‑class appointments to those boards. And so the Reserve Bank will be more modern, it will be stronger, it will be more independent as a consequence of these changes.

Now, here I wanted to really pay tribute to the Reserve Bank Governor who’s embraced these reforms. And some of them don’t require legislation. Some of them are actions being taken by the Reserve Bank itself, including that press conference after interest rates decisions that many of you have welcomed in your line of work. These are good developments. So some of these changes are already underway. They’re already improving the way that the Reserve Bank interacts with the public. But these other changes will further strengthen, modernise the Reserve Bank and make it more independent.

Treasurer, you mentioned that ABS report being released today. Do you think that Australians generally feel safe and financially secure?

No, I think people are under really substantial cost‑of‑living pressure. We don’t just acknowledge that, we’re doing something about it: tax cuts for every taxpayer, energy bill relief for every household, cheaper medicines, cheaper early childhood education, help with rent, getting wages moving again. Cost of living is the number one focus of the Albanese Labor government and the Miles Labor government. We are doing everything we responsibly can to take some of the edge off these cost‑of‑living pressures, and that’s our primary focus.

It’s important that we release this data or the ABS releases this data later today, but our primary focus is on the cost‑of‑living pressures that people are confronting right now. It’s a shame, unfortunately, that our opponents in Canberra, they don’t share the same priorities as the 2 governments represented here and the broader Australian community. They are exclusively focused on the Middle East, we are primarily focused on middle Australia.

You mentioned some of the data is old. How do you think the results we’ll see today in the Measuring What Matters report will differ from reality?

I’m not really prepared to come at it in that way. I’ve tried to be upfront with you and say that this is a process and it’s an iterative process. I’ve made it really clear in my commitment to Measuring What Matters that we need to improve this over time. And what you’ll see at 11:30 with the ABS data is a lot of good work has happened at their end, but there are still holes in the data, there is still data in some instances which is too old. I wanted to acknowledge that. We’re working towards a major update from the government in 2026. There’s some extra funding flowing to the ABS to fill some of these data gaps, and I wanted to acknowledge that as well.

We’re interested in measuring what matters. We want to measure our progress in our economy as well as progress in our society. That’s what these changes are all about. It will take us a little while to get them right.

Treasurer, on the NDIS, Greens disability spokesman Jordon Steele‑John has made it clear this morning that the minority party will campaign against Labor for cutting support to disabled people through the NDIS. He said that there were 660,000 people NDIS participants and 4.4 million disabled people in Australia who have been betrayed by Labor. How do you respond to that?

Well, the Greens don’t have to run anything and they don’t have to pay for anything. Their main job is to issue sternly worded press releases calling for more spending on everything, and we have to make everything add up. And with respect to him, Labor designed the NDIS and we want to make sure that we provide a really high standard of care for all of those Australians who rely on the NDIS. Our primary motivation here has been to deliver a really good standard of care to people who desperately need it in the most sustainable way.

And here I pay tribute to Bill Shorten who has been working around the clock to make sure that we land these really important changes. This is all about putting people front and centre in the NDIS and making sure that the spending on the NDIS continues to grow over time quite quickly, but in a way where all of the spending in the NDIS is about helping people who desperately need our help. We are proud of the NDIS and we are pleased with the changes that have been made during the week.

The Greens see their primary task in life as campaigning in a political way against the Labor Party. We have to run things and we have to pay for things and we have to make things add up. And I don’t think any objective observer would say that Labor isn’t completely committed to the NDIS. Thank you.

I’ve got a quick one –

Yeah, sure, mate.

The AFP have arrested 4 people in WA over boat arrivals. Is security good enough?

Well, obviously there’s a legal process here that needs to be followed through, but I’ll make this general point: if you want to be engaged in people smuggling, you’ll be punished for it. This is a message to the people smugglers, to the people who trade in human lives, that if you do the wrong thing, you’ll get busted. And I don’t want to pre‑empt in this particular case the legal processes that may be underway now, but we’ve got a really tough stance when it comes to people smuggling. If you do the wrong thing, you’ll be punished for it. That’s as it should be.

Thanks very much.
