Albanese government must show ‘sensible restraint’ in the budget to ‘tame inflation’

The government needs to show “sensible restraint” in the budget on Tuesday night in order to “tame inflation,” according to Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor.  “Sensible restraint is what is needed in this budget if we’re going to tame inflation and restore Australians’ standard of living,” Mr Taylor told Sky News Australia.  “Because people are poorer under Labor.”  Mr Taylor’s remarks come as the Treasurer prepares to hand down his third budget on Tuesday night, with the government expected to deliver a $9.3 billion surplus for the current financial year.
