21st Annual Australian Budget Review 2025

Описание: Special Edition: Australian Election & Trump Tariffs

On Tuesday 25th March 2025, Treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered the 2025-26 Australian Federal Budget early due to the prospect of an early decision to call the election. Soon after Prime Minister Albanese called the Federal Election for the 3rd May 2025 and led Labor to a resounding second term victory.

Whilst the Budget delivered some expected voter pleasing policies, such as personal income tax cuts, increased Medicare bulk billing, and cost of living relief, it has generally been viewed as underwhelming, despite record revenues.

In recent times, the mayhem of the Trump Tariffs, stirring global economic uncertainty and stock market volatility around the world has added an interesting layer that impacts everyone and will have a bearing on how the newly elected Government will deal with the Trump Administration. What is apparent, is a shift in USA International policy of "doing the right thing" being replaced with "doing it for the right price".

Are the tariffs going to achieve the goals of the Trump administration or are we headed for years of chaos? Were the tariffs really necessary and are there legal grounds to impose them? And will the goals of the tariffs match reality?
