Australian government ministers are reportedly no longer receiving advice from the Treasury, according to News.com.au. The outlet published the claim on Monday, 9 November 2026. The report was carried under the headline "Ministers 'no longer getting Treasury advice'."
The available summary of the story does not identify which ministers are affected, which department or portfolio is involved, or when the practice is said to have begun. It also gives no reason for the reported change and no response from the government or the Treasury. News.com.au is the source of the claim, and no further detail was included in the material available.
The Treasury is the central economic department of the Australian government, and its advice conventionally informs ministerial decisions on spending, revenue and broader fiscal policy. A reported break in that channel would bear directly on how those decisions are made. Because the report as summarised does not specify the scope of the change, it is not possible to say from this material whether it applies to all ministers, to a single portfolio, or to particular categories of advice.
Watch for follow-up reporting that names the ministers or portfolios affected and any statement from the government or the Treasury confirming, denying or clarifying the claim.
