由于退伍军人索赔处理增加,澳大利亚的预算赤字扩大到283亿美元。 Australia's budget deficit expands to $28.3 billion due to increased veteran claims processing.

澳大利亚联邦预算增加了18亿美元,原因是解决了退伍军人积压的索赔案件,共计66 000多人。 The Australian federal budget has seen a $1.8 billion increase due to resolving a backlog of claims from veterans, totaling over 66,000 individuals. 出现这一上升的原因是,政府程序要求的速度比预期的要快,被前一届政府抛在后面。 This rise comes as the government processes claims faster than expected, left behind by the previous administration. 尽管今年预计会出现158亿美元的盈余,但预算现在预测会出现283亿美元的赤字,部分原因是公司税收减少。 Despite a projected $15.8 billion surplus this year, the budget now predicts a $28.3 billion deficit, partly due to decreased company tax collections.
