Given the Budget will be delivered at 6.30pm Queensland time, in the middle of Seven News and Nine News Brisbane, it will be interesting to see if both bulletins will allocate 10-15 minutes for Budget coverage before sport.
Melissa in Nine News said they would be crossing live to Chris Uhlmann in Canberra after 6.30 for all the latest developments as the budget is being handed down.

The Budget lock-up was totally different from previous years due to COVID-19. According to The Age live blog:
Each media organisation has been locked down in their respective offices in the press gallery - a floor of Parliament House designated for the media. The ABC, SBS, News Corp, Channel 9, Channel 7, and of course The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age (to name a few) are all located there.
The lockup is shorter - a four hour sprint, rather than the usual six hour marathon. On the inside, our reporters have been pouring over budget papers and madly writing news and analysis under the watchful eye of a specially-assigned team of Treasury officials. Each room has been scoped within an inch of its life to ensure everyone is appropriately socially-distanced.

Seems like the ABC’s budget coverage just ended really abruptly for some reason. A guest was in the middle of speaking and she got cut off on both the main & news channels so they could both go to their next scheduled programs
The ABC budget coverage had been excellent until that point. Disappointing they couldn’t get that right.
It’s one of their biggest broadcasts of the year. They should be able to get that right.
Jeremy’s segment on location was awesome. Leigh’s interviews great. And David is such a great addition to the national broadcaster.
