riveting TV for the Budget Superfans, opposition leader Anthony Albanese’s budget reply speech scored 337,000 viewers for the ABC, down just over 50,000 from last year.

Albo’s speech emphasised social housing, particularly to address issues of domestic violence and homelessness among veterans. Their proposed housing Australia Future Fund policy would in theory invest $10 billion to build 20,000 homes.

He referred to the 2021 Budget as a “patch-up job for the next election”.

Finance Minister Simon Birmingham criticised the Budget reply as “barely worth commenting on.”

“There’s nothing really of substance in tonight’s address.”

Coming top of the charts was Seven News with 968,000 viewers, followed by Nine News with 886,000, A Current Affair with 689,000 and ABC News with 619,000 according to OzTAM’s metro data.

Topping the entertainment charts was MasterChef with 572,000 viewers, where – in a battle for the coveted immunity pin – four contestants has to create a dish “flavoured by fire”. Presumably, a singed toastie was not enough to win the pin.
