Truth Lies and Labor Bullshit

Treasurer Jim Chalmers's latest federal budget includes more than $80 billion of outlays that are not on the books.

In table 3.4 of the budget papers under "total net cash flows from investments in financial assets for policy purposes" there's more than $80 billion going out the door over the forward estimates.

When including those outlays, the table shows it would take the five-year underlying cash deficit from $113 billion to a headline deficit of $193 billion.
