BREAKING: Jim Chalmers is politically a dead man walking, and this latest humiliation might just be the final nail in his coffin.

The Treasurer has been forced into a humiliating backflip, admitting he was the architect behind the Australian Taxation Office timeline to ban credit card payments, only for Anthony Albanese to stage a midnight intervention.

After massive backlash from business leaders and the Coalition, Albo dragged Chalmers into line, forcing the taxpayer to fund a temporary stay of execution until July next year.

This isn't a one off error, it's a pattern of total incompetence. This marks the fifth time the Prime Minister has publicly humiliated his own Treasurer by forcing a policy retreat.

Chalmers’ track record now reads like a laundry list of failed economic assaults

The CGT hike on small businesses, the widows tax, the death tax, the trusts tax, and now, the ATO credit card ban disaster.

The hypocrisy is staggering.

While Labor claims their economy wide surcharge ban will save consumers $1.6 billion, business groups like ACCI and COSBOA have exposed it as “smoke and mirrors” If the ATO, backed by the taxpayer, can't afford to absorb credit card surcharge costs, how does Chalmers expect mum and dad small businesses to survive them?

The Coalition is already moving legislation to permanently overturn the ban, refusing to let Labor just delay the inevitable.

Albanese clearly has zero confidence in his Treasurer, and the business community has completely tuned him out.

Architect of the mess. Overruled by the boss. Left to explain the retreat.

Politically, Jim Chalmers is finished.

How much longer can he survive in the job?

We know that government spending and money printing drive inflation.

This isn't a new or controversial idea. And yet...

Australia's central bank, the RBA, has never considered testing what happens if our government cuts spending.

When asked if spending less could bring inflation down, RBA officials admitted they hadn’t thought of checking that.

"You cannot run an infinite amount of scenarios, no one can. We don't have the manpower."

We don't need infinite scenarios, we need ONE! What happens when our government cuts spending.

This is why we're screwed.

@GribbleRC What’s the theory with this Rod?

[Michael Pfitzner @farmingfitz]

@PaulineHansonOz No wonder the country is going down the gurgler. Even with 504 advisers they choose to make it harder for young Australians prosper 🤦

Well that’s an enlightening side to wind turbines 😳

@GribbleRC @TimNeale1 @theGRDC I’m still surprised with the increase in capacity of harvesters that they don’t unload on both sides. 🤷‍♂️🤪

PRE- EM results from GRDC national weed survey of ryegrass collected in 2024. SA rye tested in 2025. Almost 70% resistant to Trifluralin. Resistance to prosulfocarb just over 10%. Resistance to Sakura, Overwatch, Luximax & Propyzamide virtually zero. @GRDCSouth @WeedSmartAU

@GribbleRC @agrobaz So how long does it take Rod?
