The assistant treasurer says Jim Chalmers is safe in his job after a cabinet minister urged his colleagues to stop leaking against the treasurer.
Yesterday, Environment Minister Murray Watt warned his ministerial and backbench colleagues to stop leaking against the treasurer.
Asked if Chalmers is safe in his role as treasurer, Mulino says he is "absolutely" safe.
"The treasurer is working on one in 25 year tax reform with the PM and with obviously the the cabinet and the whole caucus," Mulino says.
"The treasurer is leading a very ambitious program. The tax reforms are going to be very important for productivity growth, but also for fairness."

Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen has used a COP31 Opening Plenary Speech to call on nations to take faster action on climate change.
Bowen is president of negotiations at this year's climate summit. It was a role he was given after Australia ceded hosting rights to Türkiye.
In the speech, Bowen said nations must move faster and scale up the use of technology to limit climate change.
He's called for more progress on electrification.
"Whether it be glacial collapse in Nepal, heat deaths in Europe, or an intensifying El Niño, climate change is here," Bowen said.
"Every fraction of a degree, and every delay, increases the risks to lives, communities, economic growth and the environment.
"We must move faster. We have the tools. The technologies we need are proven, commercial and scalable. What we need is to speed up deployment."
