Next week’s budget will be unlike any other. Australia's gross debt has now soared past a record-breaking $800 billion, and somehow the Government must support the economy and plan a recovery amidst a pandemic still throwing up unknowns. Joining Hamish Macdonald to discuss how the Government is going to meet the challenge are: Naomi Simson, Founder of RedBalloon; Jane Hume, Assistant Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation; Jim Chalmers, Shadow Treasurer; Jane Halton, health expert and former head of Australia’s Finance Department; and Nicki Hutley, economist from Deloitte Access Economics.
