Budget puts Australia 'a trillion dollars in debt with no sense of what the future looks like': ChalmersThe federal budget will put Australia in almost a trillion dollars of debt but still won't give people a sense of what the future will look like, according to Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers. Mr Chalmers said Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese’s budget address to parliament tonight will outline a vision for the economy that was missing in the Coalition’s federal budget.
“We’ve been saying all week now that there were some obvious gaps in what the government proposed: $100 million in new spending, a trillion dollars of debt, nothing for social housing, almost nothing for Australian women," Mr Chalmers told Sky News. "One of the things I think was really conspicuous about this budget week is the government managed to rack up more than a trillion dollars in debt and still didn’t really give the Australian people a sense of what the future looks like.
JEChalmers Sounds like I fair bit of straw clutching to me.

Australia is heading towards a ‘socialist future’: Maurice Newman | Sky News AustraliaFormer ABC chairman Maurice Newman says Australia is moving to a socialist future because there are no plans to rein in spending.\n\n“That’s where we’re headed, I don’t want to sound alarmist, some people may not be alarmed by the prospect of a socialist future, but we are headed in that direction,” the former stockbroker said.\n\n“Because there are no plans that I have seen to rein in this expenditure, there’s no plans that I have seen to reduce energy costs by a substantial amount, nothing to do away with a lot of the red and green tape which is hampering businesses, particularly small businesses, and the IR reforms that are necessary – that discussion is not on the table.\n\n“Until we get to those sorts of issues, the prospect of growth is, I think, very difficult to have in any sort of sensible way.”\n\nMr Newman told Sky News host Peta Credlin gross debt had reached such a lofty figure it’s become “mind-boggling”.\n\n“If you go back three years, we were $573 billion gross debt, we’re now $1.1 trillion gross debt,” he said. \n\n“And just going back 13 years we were $75 billion.\n\n“We’re getting to the stage now where we’re really looking down the barrel of however we are going to pay this money back.\n“And I think this is a real challenge.”\n\nMr Newman also pointed out the looming debt growing in the states.\n\n“If you look at state debt, just Queensland and Victoria, out to 2023 we’re looking at something like $170 billion worth of debt there as well,” he said.
