Professor Neville Norman has reviewed several decades of federal budgets but he sees the budget in 2019 – an election year – as being quite different to the others.

Politics isn't far away from the current economic climate which, among other things, includes the final report into the banking, superannuation and financial services royal commission. Neville provides his independent view on the economy; and compares Labor's fiscal proposals to the Coalition's.
