Budget Day 2024
Watch the Treasurer do the budget speech for the 2024/2025 budget.
One of the main jobs of Parliament is to be the place where government spending is scrutinised and approved. Every year the Treasurer does a budget speech to announce where money will be allocated for the upcoming financial year. You can tune in live to watch this online in real time, or come and watch in person from the public gallery.
The budget is actually a law being passed through the Parliament (a Bill), and the budget speech is the start of the second reading. Learn more.
