Event overview
The Federal Government has given a preview of plans for spending in education, technology as well as their economic reform priorities.
In his only Brisbane address, the Treasurer will speak to his sixth and arguably most important budget in detail and the impacts it will have on the Australian economy.
By attending this event, CEDA Queensland members and guests have access to the Nation's Treasurer just days after the budget release. The Treasurer's address will be followed by a moderated discussion and an opportunity for questions.
