The government has not increased any taxesElected in March with a mandate to "fix the state's ramping crisis," the government's first budget is unsurprisingly all about health, with $2.4 billion in new health spending over the next five years.

The government is delivering a worse-than-expected deficit of $1.73 billion this financial year, but has forecast better-than-expected surpluses over the next four years, starting with $233 million next financial year. The government has also promised a modest $177.5 million over four years to address housing affordability, with a pledge to build 400 new public houses.

"Unfortunately, we're going to recalibrate what we think is achievable from the government," he said.
