Reaction to Labor's Budget promises

Opposition leader Bill Shorten has promised billions of dollars for education and health, and bigger tax cuts for low income earners if he wins the Prime Ministership in the upcoming Federal election. In his budget reply speech Mr Shorten promised $1.2 billion to make almost all cancer scans free and another $1 billion for TAFE funding. But not everyone is welcoming the Labor leader's announcements.
