Money expert Glen James joined Gina & Matty this morning to break down the 2024 Federal Budget and what it means for us Coasties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking to Gina & Matty, James explained that the biggest takeaway for Central Coast<\/a> is of course the much talked about $300 energy rebate for all Australians.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEnergy prices make up a big part of the inflation numbers, so it is the government\u2019s goal to get one inflation number to decrease before the next election,\u201d James explained. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u201cI think a lot of it was, let\u2019s throw a big hit at a big part of the inflation number so we can get inflation down a little bit on paper,\u201d James added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n James also believes that the Federal Government is covering all their bases as they prepare for a potential election. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEvery interest group got a little tickle, scratch,\u201d according to James. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAnd while there were a couple of things of note, there were no new taxes, but they weren\u2019t removing any.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can hear Glen James\u2019 full chat with Gina & Matty<\/a> below via the Star Player app or wherever you get fabulous podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
