"Analysis of budget documents shows that the net financial liabilities of Australia's federal, state and territory governments will top $A944bn in June 2021, which is equivalent to about $A36,000 per person. Infrastructure projects will be a major contributor to the debt blowout, with New South Wales and Victoria unveiling plans to ramp up spending on infrastructure over the next four years. Meanwhile, credit ratings agency Moody's has expressed concern about the NSW government's increased debt in its 2018 Budget, warning that it could affect the state's credit profile."
