Treasurers Budget 2026-27 address live replay | SBS News [wikZjJtSJ56]
Treasurer, Jim Chalmers, has handed down the Federal Budget for 2026-27. The federal budget is the Australian government's plan for how it collects and spends public money each year. Funded mainly through taxes, it pays for key services and responsibilities including welfare, healthcare, defence and infrastructure. The government says around 75,000 Australians could be helped into home ownership under tax changes expected in tonight's budget. The measures, which include adjustments to capital gains tax discounts and negative gearing, have already drawn criticism from the Opposition, who argue they represent a shift from earlier commitments.
