There is dissappointment from the business sector over Budget 2021.
$44 million over the next two years will go towards training courses, for about 30,000 SME sized businesses to digitally upskill.
The Government's also pledging almost $4 billion dollars for rail, education infrastructure, DHBs and a redevelopment of Scott Base.

"This Budget has been all around mostly about redistribution."
