The just revealed Australian Federal Budget is being criticised as an election sweetener. 

The Treasurer's announced tax relief for households.  

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is yet to call the election, but it's expected in coming months. 

Australia Correspondent Lesley Yeomans says they’ve tried to give people a little bit of everything in this budget, with tax cuts, more energy bill relief, wage increases and cheaper medicines.
