Dissecting the recent federal budget - will it make a difference?

Friday, 28 March 2025 - 10:00am to 10:30am

Mark Zirnsak from the Tax Justice Network talks with Jennifer about the recent federal government budget, handed down just before an election on the 3rd of May.

While the budget has some positives such as boosts to Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and fair funding for schools, it doesn't address the fundamental inequity of our tax system. It would take a braver approach to address this, which might provide the required funds for things like an adequate level of social housing and Centrelink benefits that people can actually live on.

Friday 10:00am to 10:30am
Think Again offers weekly conversations and reflections about current events, trends and public pronouncements on contemporary and emerging issues. The show moves beyond what we read and hear via the public and ‘social’ media, to invite alternative possibilities to guide our thinking, living and organising.
