Welcome to this special 2020 Federal Budget newsletter where we cover the main super, tax and retirement related policy announcements. Highlights include:

- TAX CUTS BROUGHT FORWARD: As was widely speculated, personal income tax cuts have been brought forward to this financial year, providing immediate relief for 11 million Australians.
- INDUSTRY EXPERTS RESPOND: Tracey Spicer finds out what industry experts, including Noel Whittaker, Stephen Huppert and Bina Brown, think about the Budget announcements.
- CASH BONUSES FOR PENSIONERS: Those on the Age Pension will receive payments of $250 in December and March, and in aged care 23,000 new home care packages will be provided.
