Budget Briefing – Adelaide

About this event

With 2025 underway and an early Federal Election on the horizon, all eyes in the super industry are on the Federal Budget, set to be delivered on Tuesday 25 March.

We hope you can join us at the ASFA Budget Briefing in Adelaide where My Bui, Economist AMP and ASFA’s Madeleine Morris, will unpack the Budget and the government’s priorities, and what they mean for our sector.

Will this year’s Budget answer some of the following questions?

  • Is the Government spending up big in the context of an imminent general election?
  • What are the plans to address inflation and rising living costs?
  • Will employment growth be supported by the various Budget measures?
  • Will housing affordability improve in the near future as a result of program initiatives in the Budget?
  • Does the Budget provide scope for enhancing the Low Income Superannuation Tax Offset?
  • Is the Division 296 tax on individuals with more than $3 million in superannuation still part of the budget Forward Estimates? Or is superannuation tax reform off limits in the runup to the election?
  • Is a reduction in interest rates supported by the Budget settings?

Join your super industry peers and colleagues to find out.
