S&P Warns Australia AAA Rating at Risk From Election Pledges

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : Most Read from Bloomberg "The budget is already regressing to moderate deficits as public spending hits post-war highs, global trade tensions intensify, and growth slows," analysts Anthony Walker and Martin Foo wrote in a note on Monday.
46% : "Government spending contributed the entirety of Australia's economic growth in 2024, so the trajectory of fiscal policy is clearly consequential to the outlook," Morgan Stanley said.
44% : Such an outcome could put downward pressure on public spending, they said in a note.
41% : "A minority government would pose more near-term risk for growth, given the experience of the last minority government (2010) was a subsequent sharp slowing in public spending."
