How to Not Waste $300 Billion

How to Not Waste $300 Billion

The new 'Build Your Own Budget' tool released by the Parliamentary Budget Office reveals that despite how all-or-nothing the debate about the Stage 3 tax cuts has become, the $300bn cost of the tax cuts over 9 years provides an opportunity for the Albanese government to amend the tax cuts and also increase support for benefits and government services.

This was recorded on Wednesday 25th January 2023 and things may have changed since recording.
