Build your own budget lies (Leithvo)

This week's Treasury of Common Sense with Luke Grant on Radio 2GB/4BC dissects the Parliamentary Budget Office's (PBO) dodgy modelling on immigration and asks why Treasury is running interference for the government on the economy.



They claimed that an increase in migration would massively help the economy. Leith calls their estimates lies since they completely ignore the costs lumped on State Governments, where it's obvious that the standard of living is in decline. He shows that the computer modelling they use is completely, and obviously, broken.
