Federal Budget special with Jacqui Lambie, Barnaby Joyce & more.
| | | | This week Q+A is live in Canberra for a Federal Budget special, broadcasting from the ANU’s Llewellyn Hall.
Politicians have been crisscrossing the country as the unofficial election campaign rolls on, however this week they’re back in Canberra to talk money – and they’ll join us to answer your questions.
In 2019 the Coalition pulled off an unexpected election victory, just weeks after Josh Frydenberg handed down his first Federal Budget. Three years and a pandemic later, can the Treasurer deliver another election-winning spend to win over weary voters?
As cost of living pressures continue to hurt the hip pocket, how much relief will be offered for those struggling to pay their bills? Is a fuel excise cut on the table? Will we see a major pre-election cash splash or will it be restrained given the mounting debt? And how will Labor sell its alternative economic plan?
Make the most of your chance to ask questions about how the nation’s finances are spent. How will it impact you?
Joining David Speers on the panel:
Barnaby Joyce, Deputy Prime Minister
Jim Chalmers, Shadow Treasurer
Jacqui Lambie, Independent Senator for Tasmania
Zali Steggall, Independent MP for Warringah
Paul Kelly, Editor-at-large, The Australian
