The plan is designed to directly ease price pressures and inflation, the federal government said, which has eased in the first quarter but still sits near 30-year highs of 7.0%."The centerpiece of the budget ... will be cost-of-living relief that doesn't add to inflation," Treasurer Jim Chalmers said in a statement, ahead of Tuesday's federal budget.
"People are under the pump. We've carefully calibrated and designed this Budget so that it takes pressure off the cost-of-living rather than add to it."
