Australia delivers its first budget surplus in 15 years
According to Australian media, the government will deliver a slim surplus amid windfall revenue from high export prices and tax revenue from low unemployment.
Australia is setting up the final touches to its annual budget statement. It's projected to record a $4 billion surplus this financial year. The government will also set aside millions for wage rises for care workers and extend financial support for single parents, while banking most of the savings to put budgets on a more sustainable footing.
