Angus Taylor’s Budget Reply leaves conservatives wanting more

Angus Taylor's post-budget reply at the National Press Club, 2 April 2025 

 

From the National Press Club: Australia has had record numbers of business failures on top of declining productivity. That means declining living standards.

But what will Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor do?
