Summary
The government’s latest budget paints a mixed picture: while spending growth is slowing and a surplus is projected post-election, debt continues to climb toward $216.4 billion. A major $119 billion infrastructure plan remains murky, with funding questions and timing concerns. Small cost-of-living relief is offered, but the real pressure points — looming credit rating risks and unclear funding for big projects — keep the spotlight on the Treasurer’s upcoming speech during Parliament’s special session.
