Melbourne Partner Craig Whatman joined 3AW this week to provide insights into the Federal Budget 2025-26, handed down on March 25.

- The tax system is still not setup for the increases in productivity that will be needed to get back to a surplus.
- Businesses would have been disappointed with a lack of extension to instant asset tax write-off or other measures to encourage expansion.
