Federal Budget-in-Reply
BDO's review of the Federal Budget-in-Reply.

Labor's Budget-in-Reply

Labor leader Anthony Albanese delivered the traditional budget-in-reply speech on Thursday, 31 March 2022. Positioned prior to the Federal election, this was an election policy manifesto, rather than a reply to the government.

The ’five pillars’ outlined in his policy speech were:

Powering Australia with more renewable energy, in order to reduce power bills
Bringing manufacturing on-shore through a National Reconstruction Fund
Funding infrastructure through a re-invigorated Infrastructure Australia
Increasing university and TAFE training places
Childcare, aged care and Medicare.
