Social Justice Matters Podcast - Budget Choices 2027

podcast logo

A budget directed towards the Common Good must do four things in 2027. It must promote fairness and a more equitable distribution of the economic resources at Government’s disposal. It must protect the most vulnerable and enhance resilience in the face of cost of living pressures, poverty and deprivation. It must address the deficits in our social infrastructure and services, not least of all housing, energy, healthcare and education. Finally, Budget 2027 must also prepare for the future and address the risks posed by an unsustainable fiscal policy. This episode is a listen back to our Budget Choices 2027 launch. Download the full policy briefing, or take a look at the video HERE.
