“Ordinarily pre-election budgets are the ones that are full of goodies for families … but this is an accidental budget with cyclones throwing off the timing for the government of its election plans so it’s already announced a bunch of things we will see,” he said.

Here are six things we know will be included in the 2025 budget:

More power bill relief

The federal funding follows last year’s $3.5 billion power bill sweetener which offered $300 per household. The extension adds $1.8 billion to the budget over the forward estimates.

Major boost to Medicare

Incentives for apprentices

The $626 million promise will mean apprentices get $2,000 on top of their wages at six, 12, 24, 36 months and once they complete their training.

Alcohol excise freeze

In a win for beer drinkers, the Albanese government has committed to freezing the draught beer excise for two years from August 2025.

The cost of the measure will be revealed in Tuesday’s budget.

It follows a $280 million forecasted loss from the spirits tax revenue, announced in the federal government’s MYEFO.

Women’s health cheaper under PBS additions

Coming into effect on 1 May, this includes several oral contraceptive pills, the endometriosis medication Ryeqo and IVF medication Pergoveris.

Cuts to student debt

The measures target young Australians, with the upcoming federal election marking a significant shift in voter demographic, as gen Z and millennial voters now outnumber baby boomers in every state and territory for the first time.
