‘Tough’ upcoming budget for the government

The upcoming federal budget will be “tough” for the government, Australian Industry Group CEO Innes Willox says. “They have priorities they took to the election which they want to fulfil in terms of spending, and they are also dealing with an economy that is slowing that has significant pressures on it,” Mr Willox told Sky News Australia. “The government is saying they want to increase wages, well the tax cuts that are legislated is one way to put more money into people’s pockets.”
