Chalmers’ budget pitch: deficit not as bad as COVID-19
The Australian Financial Review03-24

Treasurer Jim Chalmers, who will release his fourth budget on Tuesday, clearing the way for Anthony Albanese to call a May election, will boast that debt and deficit are lower now than the Treasury forecasts released during the 2022 election campaign.
