This week On The Money takes an in-depth look at the economic challenges facing Australia in 2016. There are questions around how China’s economy will impact us this year, and on the home front, we’re facing the challenges of a transitioning economy. With Prime Minister, Malcolm Turnbull at the helm and agility on the agenda, what will the first Turnbull/Morrison budget look like, and what sweeteners will be thrown around in an election year?
