BUDGET
CONTEXT
A moderate approach:
But is moderation what we need?
MARCUS HELLYER | CANBERRA
The 2018-19 budget was a restrained, moderate policy document in virtually all regards. Moderate tax cuts all round, a moderately faster return to surplus a year earlier than planned. Moderate spending when more enthusiastic wooing of voters in the lead up to an election has become the norm.
