00:00 There are winners and losers every year.
00:05 There was nothing in the budget for rubble.
00:07 Rubble's owners, however, are among the millions of Australians desperate for relief from the cost of living crunch.
00:13 I don't think it's really going to fix the problems that we're all looking at.
00:17 At the centre of the budget's reprieve is $300 taken off every electricity bill in the country.

01:27 She would have liked to see more for those studying in the budget.
01:31 I wouldn't have needed to rely on my family which makes me feel so guilty.
01:35 If I had youth allowance it would have been such a relief off my shoulders.
01:39 With advertised rent surging more than 9% in the past year, she's not the only one wishing for a win.
01:46 for a win.
