Key Points
- Expectations were high for what Treasurer Jim Chalmers' first Budget would say about the issues the Labor government has spent months talking about: education, aged care, skills shortages and inflation.

- Tim Costello, who is representing aid organisations such as Caritas and World Vision, the Budget doesn't go far enough to satisfy Australia's moral responsibility for those in the deepest poverty
