Jess Hill on the Domestic Violence Crisis

Budget 2024 had a little bit for a lot of people, but in trying to please everyone, has the government disappointed everyone instead?

What does the budget mean for inflation and living standards? What does it reveal about the government’s priorities as it approaches an election? And does it ultimately make Australia a better place? Matt Grudnoff, Senior Economist at the Australia Institute, joins Ebony Bennett on this episode of Follow the Money to examine this year’s federal budget.
