Budget Night 2020 – What Will It Mean for Australians?

ABC’s political and economic experts bring you live coverage and unpack the issues.

How much has the coronavirus pandemic cost the country? Will there be additional support announced for employment, health, or education? And most importantly, will the budget set out the path to economic recovery for Australia?

The Federal Budget is due to be handed down on Tuesday 6 October, and this year there is considerable anticipation around the announcement.
