Labor’s budget promises fairness – does it deliver?
Description
It was a budget framed around fairness for workers and for young people locked out of the housing market.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ fifth budget restricts negative gearing – though not for anyone who was already doing it – while also promising to increase housing supply and deliver a $250 tax cut for workers.
Chalmers wants the budget to be seen as ambitious – but is it?
Today, press gallery journalist Karen Middleton, on what the Treasurer is promising - and whether it delivers.
