On Tuesday night Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg handed down his fourth Budget, which as this is an election year, is being closely scrutinised, but how can you crunch the numbers and make sense of what's in it for you?

The Quicky speaks to an expert in Australian politics, and a specialist in women's equality to find out whether the billions of dollars that have been announced will actually help you and your family, or if it's all just smoke and mirrors.
