As Treasurer Jim Chalmers prepares to hand down his fifth federal budget on 12 May 2026, four of Australia’s leading economists gather at the Centre for Independent Studies to ask: is this budget up to the challenge?
Hosted by CIS Executive Director Michael Stutchbury, this roundtable brings together Robert Carling (CIS Senior Fellow, former Treasury and IMF official), Professor Richard Holden (UNSW Business School), and Chris Richardson (Principal, Rich Insight and Australia’s most cited budget economist) for a frank, wide-ranging conversation on the fiscal pressures facing Australia.
They discuss rising inflation, a productivity slowdown, a housing crisis, a federal debt approaching $1 trillion, and whether Chalmers’ promises on savings, tax reform, and intergenerational equity stack up.
