Hello and thanks for joining our live coverage of this year's state budget!

I'm Tom Wildie and across the afternoon and into the evening, myself and Gian De Poloni will be bringing you all of the key moments and reactions to a set of books that is expected to post another huge surplus, amid a cost-of-living crisis for many.

If you've got any questions or thoughts, use the blue Leave a Comment button above to send them in. We'd love to hear from you!

We'll do our our best to explain what the budget means for you.

At the moment, our ABC News reporters are locked in a room with the Premier and Treasurer pouring over the details and will be set free to tell you all about it from 2:00pm WST.
