The Federal Budget. I shouldn't be disappointed. I should know better. But I had vague hopes after the Feds completely jettisoned their ideology in response to the pandemic that we'd get a more innovative, f*** the debt let’s think big Budget. Naïve much.
Instead high vis gets some monies, manufacturing gets (nowhere near enough) monies, the environment gets no monies (that one didn’t surprise me) all of us get tax cuts we won’t even notice and the chances of someone’s gran getting shunted into a an “aged care” home to provide fodder for another Royal Commission stays…. about the same.
Ugh.

Almost laughable for sure, a lot of people don't even have a job and the rest have had their hours cut back, so I suppose it leaves the big hitters for a great Christmas bonus.

I did chuckle at the betoota headline regarding transitioning old folks from home to pet food.
Truely a visionary government. What a time to be alive!

It's just such an empty flex though, even on $140k+ they'll get back maaaybe $2,500. Probably less. That's hardly going to make a dent in the repayments on their X5s.

Seems he may be about to have some trouble... hopefully just the tip of the iceberg.

It's a wonder the Libs don't just dissolve the coalition and run candidates in all seats. The Nats have been a total shitshow since Barnaby showed up.

Sure, but it was just a pleasant surprise in the 30 years I've been voting and the 20 years I've been in the ACT.
