Community organisations call for a budget reset to boost funding for essential services

Abstract

A 5-minute segment from Radio National Breakfast Program with Cathy Van Extel and Cassandra Goldie, CEO of ACOSS.

With an election looming, the Australian Council of Social Services and its members are calling on both major parties to reject tax cuts in order to fund essential services.

The organisation is warning that an incoming government may struggle to close a gap in services with the revenue available.
