À propos de ce contenu audio

 The federal election was announced for May 3, and we unpacked Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ pre-election Budget – marked by cautious politics, modest tax cuts, and the usual barrage from conservative media. Despite early signals of a deficit, the Budget offered little reform, continuing Labor’s trend of incrementalism and risk-averse fiscal policy, with no major action on tax reform, resource royalties, or climate change – even as record-breaking temperatures highlight the urgency. We also analysed the Coalition’s chaotic Budget reply, Angus Taylor’s puzzling opposition to tax cuts, Peter Dutton’s populist stunts on fuel excise and nuclear energy, and the broader political landscape – from rising corporate profits and stagnant welfare to Labor’s silence on Palestine and environmental backdowns. #AUSPOL #Election2025
