Labor’s budget was one of the ‘strangest’ ones: James MorrowSky News host James Morrow says Labor's budget delivered on Tuesday is one of the “strangest” ones he’s ever seen.

Budget cuts to veterans’ pathway program is ‘a major disappointment’: Soldier On ChairmanSoldier On Australia Chairman Peter Leahy says losing $1.5 million annually is “a major disappointment” as it will have “quite a dramatic impact” on the services and support being provided to veterans. “We’ve currently got around 7,000 people who are using a pathways program – which is pathways out of the military and into the civilian world,” Mr Leahy told Sky News host Sharri Markson. The pathway program is “predominantly about getting them employment or getting employment for their spouse or someone else in the family so they can continue in the community,” he said. “We are going to have to adjust our program, not only in terms of its scope but also in terms of its geographic spread.” If you or anyone you know needs help: Lifeline: 13 11 14 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800 Open Arms: 1800 011 046
