Budget breakdown - what is it, why is it important and what's in it for you

Budget breakdown - what is it, why is it important and what's in it for you

It's Budget week, which means we've dedicated this episode to breaking down the Government's biggest announcement of the year.

We talk through what the Budget actually is, why politicians and the media obsess over it every May, and what this year's decisions tell us about the Government's priorities. We look at the key spending announcements, where the money is going, and who stands to benefit.

Of course, every Budget creates winners and losers, so we discuss who came out ahead, who missed out, and some of the criticisms already being levelled at the Government's choices.

We also look beyond the Government benches and discuss how other parties might respond. What policies could Labour, the Greens, ACT and New Zealand First put forward as alternatives? And what does this Budget tell us about the political debates we'll be having over the next year?

If you've seen the headlines but want to understand what it all actually means, this episode is for you.
