About this episode
A Labor government has handed down a budget for the first time in nine years.
It isn’t the budget that many might have imagined in May when the party won the election. It lands just as a global economic storm appears to be gathering momentum.
Last night, we got the pitch that tells us how this Labor government thinks it can contend with the challenge and what it plans to deliver for Australians.
So what’s in it? Who’s getting money? Who is missing out? And how does it set up this term for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
