Federal Budget 2025: Expert says Labor 'missed opportunity' to enhance productivity

Associate Professor of Finance and Accounting at Charles Darwin University, Rakesh Gupta, argues that the Federal Budget 2025 lacks future preparedness. He criticises its failure to improve productivity, secure long-term investments, and protect Australia from changing US trade policies. In this podcast, we explore its impact on skilled migration, Indian-Australian communities, and the education sector, and whether cost-of-living relief compromises economic resilience.
