Tasmania’s budget will boost health spending by $900 million (US$588 million), with a forecast surplus expected to be pushed back.

State Liberal Treasurer Michael Ferguson will hand down the 2023/24 budget on May 25, almost two weeks after the government was plunged into the minority when two MPs quit the party.
