The Australian economy grew by 0.6 per cent in the three months to June, taking annual growth to 1.8 per cent.

Federal Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, is speaking in Canberra:

1.8 is a really good outcome in the context of what’s happening around the world and what’s happened in recent quarters but, over time, we’ll need to do better than that, and that’s what we’re working on.
