Labor delivered its fourth budget last night with tax cuts, cost-of-living relief and $20 million to entice Australians to buy Australian headlining the document.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "It's a budget to build the future and to help people with the cost of living and strengthen Medicare."

"It's all about making our economy more resilient in the face of all this global economic uncertainty and so that's what's motivated us here when it comes to this budget."

"We've been responsible, we've gone for what's affordable and we've done that in the context where we have taken difficult decisions," Mr. Chalmers said.

"We are making good progress in the Budget, we're making especially good progress in the economy more broadly."

"We know that that doesn't always immediately translate into how people are feeling and faring in the economy and that's why the cost of living help is so important," Treasurer Chalmers said.
