"THE BEAT GOES ON The days ahead of a budget update always see stories that note: (1) how impossibly hard the juggle facing the government is (tick got that on Thursday) and (2) how magnificently the government is fighting that fight on our behalf (tick todays stories about the $20bn the government just saved) To be clear I am super happy that the government is fighting the good fight To be even clearer we dont yet know just how hard the government has fought of late Thats because we have only learned how much the government has just saved not how much it just spent We will find that out on"

"HOW DIFFERENT ON THE ECONOMY The new forecasts from Treasury the first in nine months were just released The easiest comparison is to look at how Treasury now sees the last year it projects (2028-29) versus its March 2025 forecasts The chart below shows that comparison of expected levels. In brief Treasury expects: The economy to be weaker (0.6% smaller in 2028-29 than previously projected) Yet there will be XXX% more people in a job Thats an unhappy combination even though there will be more workers well be producing less stuff The only good news there is that this combination is more"

"CHRISTMAS FOR ECONOMISTS The govt brings down its budget update today The leaks show there'll be an improvement in official forecasts of $5.3bn this yr & a total of $8.4bn over X yrs My matching forecasts are $9.5bn this yr & a total of $4.8bn over X yrs So I see a bigger improvement early on but pullback later Why There'll be more detail later today but remember Treasury leaves near term wriggle room for the budget numbers to outperform We only have numbers for X months of this fin yr but revenues are already beating the earlier official estimates by $8bn - so the improvement in the budget"

"HOW DIFFERENT ON THE TAX TAKE The new forecasts from Treasury show a rather healthier tax take Their near term forecasts are remarkably close to mine they see revenues stronger this year by $14.6bn (my estimate is $14.0bn) and next year by $11.2bn (I have $9.5bn) And the make up is the same we both see: Stronger commodity prices especially for gold adding to the company tax take AI driven sharemarkets boosting the tax take from superannuation and from capital gains An accelerating collapse in the tobacco tax take But theres a big difference between Treasurys views in later years versus mine"

"HOW DIFFERENT ON SPENDING Todays budget update has the same basic storyline seen in all these updates for some time now: theres more money going into Canberra as taxes than earlier expected but thats largely offset by more money going out of Canberra as spending than earlier expected And the challenge in todays numbers is equally familiar: the boost to the tax take is driven by factors that look likely to be temporary (a XX% lift in the gold price and an enormous surge in sharemarkets) while the boost to spending looks more likely to be permanent On the latter front the cost of natural"

"UP IN A PUFF OF SMOKE My good friend Saul Eslake rates the WA GST as the worst decision Canberra has made so far this century But what weve done with tobacco taxation is right up there It has been astoundingly stupid: Were worsening health outcomes: As Roy Morgan surveys show smoking rates in Australia have been on the climb since 2024 driven by young smokers and vapers Weve destroyed the tax take: Todays budget update wiped another XX% off the expected tax take on tobacco. Had the black market kept a constant share of the total since 2019-20 then wed be collecting $19bn in tobacco tax in"
