CANBERRA, AUSTRALIA - MARCH 26: Opposition Leader Peter Dutton speaks to the media during post budget media interviews at Parliament House on March 26, 2025 in Canberra, Australia. Treasurer Jim Chalmers delivered the 2025-26 Australian Federal Budget on March 25, 2025, focusing on cost-of-living relief and economic growth. The budget includes two new tax cuts, energy bill rebates, cheaper medicines, and increased funding for Medicare and childcare.
