Summary

The federal government has dismissed the Opposition Leader's budget reply speech as "un-costed nonsense." Angus Taylor outlined a plan to cut immigration numbers, capping them based on the number of homes built each year. He also proposed what he described as "generational tax reform" by automatically indexing income tax brackets to inflation. GUEST: Mark Butler, Minister for Health and Ageing PRODUCER: Isadora Bogle
