Fairness, honesty and suitable policy must be at the heart of next week’s budget so it does not tank like last year’s, the opposition leader says
Fairness, honesty and suitability of policy must be at the heart of next week’s budget so that the document does not tank like last year’s, the opposition leader Bill Shorten was set to argue in his major pre-budget address.
Shorten contests that the 2014 federal budget did not fail because it was “too exciting, too visionary or too bold”, but rather that major policy objectives stalled in the Senate because they were “fundamentally unfair”.
