Federal Government finds $14.6 billion for Budget, not enough to cover $25.1 billion in unavoidable spending

The article from The West Australian discusses the Australian federal government's financial challenges as outlined in the upcoming budget.

The government is grappling with how to manage these expenses without significantly increasing taxes or cutting services, amidst a backdrop of economic recovery from the global health crisis, geopolitical tensions, and inflation. The budget, set to be revealed on May 9, will likely focus on fiscal repair, with Treasurer Jim Chalmers indicating that tough decisions are necessary to ensure the budget's sustainability.
