Paul Murray dissects federal budget with Bronwyn Bishop and Stephen Conroy

Sky News host Paul Murray dissects Labor’s 2024 federal budget with former speaker of the house Bronwyn Bishop and former Labor senator Stephen Conroy. Ms Bishop reminded people she had predicted an early election since the Albanese government broke its election promise on stage three tax cuts. She also described the latest budget effort as a “barnacle cleansing exercise” ahead of an election campaign. Mr Conroy agreed with Ms Bishop, saying the government has been “cleaning the barnacles off the shed in a way that says we want to be focused”. The former Labor MP remained convinced of the “Labor values” behind the newest budget.
