Independent MP Allegra Spender says the budget “didn’t go far enough” on issues which affect all Australian taxpayers.
“Overall it was a sensible budget and struck a reasonable balance but what I think we have missed is something that’s affecting all of us is actually the opportunity for reform on
some really important issues such as housing, tax, and productivity, because those are the things which will affect all of us if we don’t deal with them,” she told Sky News Australia.
