The Coalition leader Angus Taylor has laid out his vision for a more prosperous Australia, with plans to end bracket creep and block permanent residents from accessing welfare and social services. Political hounds Clare Armstrong and Phil Coorey give their budget replies. 

Intergenerational equity was another key theme , but Angus Taylor insists its migrants not boomers who are to blame for the housing crisis.

The enhanced games kick off next week in Las Vegas, with a juiced up for Australian swimming champion James Magnussen leading the pack. There’s millions of dollars  and a lot of pumped up egos invested in the event but sports integrity expert Dr Catherine Ordway reckons few people will be watching.
