Original Note:
Labor Treasurer Jim Chalmers claims to have delivered the first surplus in 15 years, but under the same methodology used by Chalmers to calculate the $4.2 billion forecast on 9 May 2023, the Coalition would have delivered a $7.2 billion surplus four years earlier in 2019. https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/rule-change-helps-deliver-first-surplus-in-15-years-20230510-p5d791
