Australia correspondent Karen Middleton joins Kathryn to talk about yesterday's federal Budget, the second delivered by Treasurer Jim Chalmers which forecast a surplus of A$4.2 billion - the first time in 15 years that a budget has been delivered in the black.
She'll also talk about the start of the public inquiry into the handling of the criminal case of the alleged rape of young ministerial staffer Brittany Higgins at Parliament House that sparked women's marches around the country.
Karen Middleton is chief political correspondent for The Saturday Paper.
