It has been a while but we are back! In this week's episode of Speaking of Social Justice, Dr Julie Macken cuts through the noise on Australia's latest budget and she's not here to crunch numbers. She's here to ask the bigger question: what does a nation's spending say about what it actually values?

From intergenerational inequality and housing unaffordability to the media's framing of the US-Iran conflict, Julie calls it like she sees it. This one's for anyone who's ever wondered why wage earners get taxed to the hilt while property investors collect the rewards and whether this budget is finally a sign things are shifting.
