The government handed down its third federal budget this week, and it was the usual blizzard of figures.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers gave us hand-outs, grand plans for the future and some heroic predictions on inflation figures.
Today, chief political correspondent David Crowe and national affairs editor James Massola join Jacqueline Maley to unpack the budget as a political document - will it help the government win the next election, and will the voting public believe all the promises made about the future of the economy?
