从今天起，九岁以下、存在轻度发育迟缓或自闭症症状的儿童可以通过名为“Thriving Kids”的项目获得早期干预服务。该项目由各州和地区政府负责实施。
From today, children under nine years old with mild developmental delays and autism can access early intervention services through a program called Thriving Kids which is administered by state and territory governments.
这一政策变更由阿尔巴内塞政府于今年二月宣布，旨在逐步将这些儿童从“国家残疾保险计划”（NDIS）中转移出来，并计划在2028年前完全取代该计划，为这些儿童提供新的服务。
The change was announced by the Albanese government in February and will slowly move children off the National Disability Insurance Scheme. It will fully replace the NDIS for these children by 2028.
与NDIS不同，“Thriving Kids”项目无需正式的诊断结果即可让儿童参与其中，这有望加快服务提供速度并节省家庭的经济负担。
Unlike the NDIS, participation in Thriving Kids won’t require a formal diagnosis, potentially speeding up services and saving families money.
卫生部长马克·巴特勒最近向家长们表示，他们的孩子将不会在政府支持方面出现任何中断。
The health minister, Mark Butler recently told parents there would be no gap in government support for their children.
目前，昆士兰州是澳大利亚唯一一个尚未加入“Thriving Kids”项目的州，因此在该项目的第一阶段启动之际，相关家庭的处境仍十分不确定。
Queensland is the sole Australian state refusing to sign on to the Thriving Kids program leaving families in limbo as the first phase of the NDIS replacement scheme launches. You can
根据澳大利亚税务局（ATO）的最新企业透明度报告，2024-2025年度，超过四分之一的澳大利亚大型企业没有缴纳所得税。
More than one-quarter of big companies operating in Australia paid no income tax in 2024-25, according to the Australian Taxation Office’s latest corporate transparency report.
报告指出，这些企业大多以“会计亏损”为由逃避纳税（即其支出超过了收入）。此前《卫报澳大利亚版》曾报道过，包括新加坡电信集团旗下的Adani煤炭矿业公司在内的一些跨国企业经常通过声称进行基础设施投资或运营开支来逃避纳税。
The report says companies mostly cited an accounting loss – when expenses outstrip revenue. Guardian Australia has previously reported how some multinationals, including the Singtel-owned Optus coal miner Adani regularly pay no tax, citing infrastructure investments and operating expenses .
报告中约有27%的企业报告称其纳税额为零，这一比例与上一年度持平。总体而言，2024-2025年度总收入达到1亿美元以上的4,299家企业共缴纳了875亿澳元的税款，其中澳大利亚的矿业行业是纳税最多的行业。
About 27% of entities in the report reported zero tax, which was a similar figure to the year before. In total, 4,299 entities earning at least $100m in total income paid a combined $87.5bn in tax in 2024–25, led by Australia’s large mining sector.
澳大利亚税务局代理副局长米歇尔·萨姆斯表示，该机构正“越来越重视”确保数字企业及供应链（包括数据中心）依法纳税。
The ATO acting deputy commissioner, Michelle Sams, says the agency is “increasingly focused” on making sure digital businesses and supply chains, including data centres, paid their share of tax.
我们会密切关注那些重要行业（包括数据中心等）是否缴纳了应缴的税款，以确保实际缴纳的税款能够真实反映澳大利亚的经济活动情况。
We look very closely if there’s no tax being paid in significant industries, including things like data centres, to make sure that the level of tax being paid reflects the economic activity that’s happening in Australia.
