In addition to our Daily news, Deaf Connect produces ‘deep dive’ videos which provide more detail and context to the biggest stories of the week.
Today’s deep dive focuses on Labor Budget and Coalition Reply | Federal Election 2025.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers unveiled the 2025-26 federal budget on Tuesday 25th March, marking a pivotal moment for the Labor Government as Australia awaited the election date announcement.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton responded with his Budget Reply on Thursday 27th March, presenting the Coalition’s perspective, and setting the stage for a heated political showdown.
From tax cuts and first-home ownership to cost-of-living support and healthcare, we take a closer look at key areas addressed in both the government’s budget and Dutton’s reply. Watch the video to see how these measures are shaping the political landscape ahead of the upcoming election.
