Since the commencement of the 45th Parliament, the coalition government has passed, with the support of the Senate, more than $20 billion of budget savings, including measures from the 2014 and 2015-16 budgets. The government continues to work constructively with the parliament to pass its agenda, and notes inequality will worsen for future generations of hardworking Australians if the budget is not repaired. The government's economic approach is focused on targeting help to those who need it most and enabling hardworking Australians to benefit from their own efforts.
