Next federal budget is expected to be a 'sea of red ink'

Sky News host Peta Credlin predicts the election will be called before the reading of the federal budget in March as it is expected to contain a “sea of red ink”. “I don’t know why they [Labor] are going to be there on the 25th or March to deliver a budget that is a sea of red ink,” Ms Credlin said. “This why I think they are going to go early because they cannot bear Australians to wrap their head around this before they go into the ballot box.”
