This week, Chanticleer columnists James Thomson and Anthony Macdonald are all about the federal budget – the big messages, the big numbers, the big risks and the hidden stories.

In this bumper episode, they'll discuss whether this budget really was aspirational or just a cheap attempt to win votes.
