Thank you for joining us for our 2023 Federal Budget coverage. Our 9news.com.au team is currently holed up in budget lock-up poring over the key details before it is handed down at 7.30pm.

We already know a surplus will be announced, but all eyes will be on what cost-of-living relief Jim Chalmers announces.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said helping ‘vulnerable Australians’ will be at the heart of the budget.

“Supporting vulnerable Australians, growing the economy and strengthening the budget to make our finances more secure for the future,” he said.

We will have all the key announcements from 7.30pm.
