The cycle of life. Labor Governments increase services and spending. Conservative Governments decrease services and spending.
Gonna be a "Deficit" Levy by the looks of it"
It is believed that taxpayers on $80,000 a year will pay an extra 1 per cent and those earning $180,000 a year or more will pay an extra 2 per cent

yes, politics cycle always with us. Both major parties are important with various strengths and weaknesses. Hopefully coalition can get us back on track to prosper in future decades.
Should be interesting; I am writing a book on Abbott govt's first term so will be interested to see how events play out.

Kunces... I reckon if he's spending billions of $$ on the new fighter jets, we should all get a turn!

Sounds interesting. Be interesting to see if Abbott's second term sees him move more right wing, back to his roots?

"No new taxes"
"We will remove the carbon tax"
"We will not change school funding"
"We will not touch Super/pensions"
And i thought JuLIAR was bad... this budget is going to be a laugh
This is it, plus you can also add people will bitch and moan about something no matter who the fuck is in government.

I dont get this either! Theyre talking about (well the media is anyway) taking money off education, the hospitals are always lacking funds, then they spend $16b (i heard 18) on fighter jets. Seriously?

For most people the number in the budget are pretty meaningless as very few people have the right kind of reference point to be able to talk accurately about sums measured in the billions.
Also there is more to running a country that schools and healthcare. They are important but you can hardly just cut everything that is not one of those two items.
I always view anyone who talks about been underfunded with a grain of salt. If you gave them everything they ask for in a few years it would be the same calls of we need more funding as we always want more than we have now.

[MENTION=16726]Big Dave[/MENTION]; this is true, no matter what the allocation is to a certain group they will always spend it and want more.
The issue with the fighter jets for me is not so much the spend, as we need new jets, the F111 were retired a few years ago and were about 50yrs old when did retire them and I think were the only country in the world running planes this old, the FA-18 is also way old and need replacing, no matter what plane we decide to replace these with the cost will be in the billions, the question is have we selected the right plane as the replacement, the one we chose from my understanding is a compromise between what we previously had and can fill both roles and the FA-18 and F-111 did different jobs.

We should get some of these :
Kunce with AK's in cessnas... Cheap as chips and you'd get heaps of the phuckers... a veritable flying army = Win/Win

Let's hope we get good value from the jets.
