2017 Budget health reforms welcomed, welfare changes draw criticism

Scott Morrison's second Budget is already drawing a mixed reaction. The Medical Association is welcoming major health reforms, saying the government is winning back ground it lost after former Treasurer Joe Hockey's 2014 Budget. But a major crackdown on welfare has drawn criticism from community groups who say it unfairly targets Australia's most vulnerable.
