After the budget, independent economist Chris Richardson said:
My big ask of the Budget was that it didn't poke the inflationary bear.
I don't think it passed that test.
The government said it would be careful not to frontload its new costs.
But that's exactly what it did—and its new dollars are both big AND fast.
Why is this government spending an additional $315 billion instead of reining in spending to actually address its home-grown inflation and deliver real cost-of-living relief to ordinary Australians?
