It's budget day in Australia and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull plans to spend big.

Australia correspondent Lesley Yeomans told Rachel Smalley a lot of detail has already been released.

She said there will be more than $300 million going to the Australian Federal Police to fund extra anti-terrorism specialists.

"Businesses are getting a tax cut. Uni fees are going up. Unis are also facing a funding cut. Schools are getting more money. The Government plans to spend up big on infrastructure."
