The Federal Budget will be revealed next Tuesday (April 2) at 7.30pm AEDT. Is this the first time the Budget is delivered during the daylight savings period? Due to the 3 hour time difference, I feel there will be more extensive coverage on main news bulletins in WA, especially 10 News First (which in the past has to wait until 5.30pm local time before revealing details in the Budget).
