Budget follow-up: a bean counter spills the beans

We go right to the top today to question the Finance Minister Simon Birmingham about Tuesday night’s budget.

Some key questions: Where was the money for a quarantine facility; will we all be vaccinated by the end of the year; when will the borders open; and what about our struggling uni sector?

Following up from Wednesday’s episode focusing on what’s in the Budget for our listeners, today it’s about what’s missing from the big-spending future outliner.
