Labor’s 2024 budget an ‘expression’ of ‘priorities’ ahead of next election

Labor’s 2024 budget will be an “expression” of their “priorities” as they look to position themselves ahead of the federal election, says Tanck co-founder and Executive Director Angus Crowther. “Budgets are all about priorities and this budget is going to be an expression of this in terms of what the government is going to be looking to do to position themselves ahead of the election.” He told Sky News Australia. “Ultimately, I think the people who are going to be the winners are going to be the people who have done the work engaging with politicians, particularly the government and have ensured their voices are heard. “From the perspective of the current Labor government, I think we are going to see them investing along gridlines, so those areas they are well known for and that they are strong. “So, we are going to be looking at education, health and this kind of stuff.”
