Marking the Treasurer’s work: Three leading economists discuss the federal budget.

This year’s Budget tries to do several things at once. In the
short term it offers cost-of-living relief but tries not to
contribute to inflation. In the longer term it departs from
decades of economic orthodoxy by picking industries to invest
in.  Specifically, green hydrogen and critical minerals.
  


But will it work? And how responsible is it? Three of the
country’s leading economists offer their views.
