Cuts to Newstart of FTB B will sting a lot of people. No Newstart for the first 6 months of unemployment if under 30. People under 30 have families/rent/bills. No job for 3-4 weeks will absolutely mess people up, especially if they were low wage earners and unable to have a decent safety net.

Horrible budget, those that were brave enough to vote the evil Libs (I voted Labour) should hang their heads in SHAME!!!

 

[n4nirvana]

well at least our roads are being cared for right

and our chaplains ...

$200 + million devoted to chaplains ...

 

[Eddie Dingle]

I voted for the Chaplains.

But not Troy.

He is a campaigner.

 

[MrMeaner]

campaigners

Edit: but we knew that already. The real problem is Labor is bereft of any ability to counter this ideological attack on equity. They're campaigners too.

I did enjoy Sarah Ferguson grilling some Hockeyburger. She is brutal and fearless with both sides of the political divide.

I like the budget. I dont think its as harsh as people are making out.

Having met her and being on the receiving end of one of her 4 Corners stories and seeing first hand how she "really" operates I must disagree.

She is the biggest female campaigner I have ever met.

More Chaplains ftw.

 

[It Just Is]

As a student this it isn't great for me. I'll be repaying more for my HELP loan and sooner.

It could be worse though, I'll be out before it becomes open season on uni fees. As if $30,000 over 3 years wasn't enough already.

Link to you on the receiving end pls....

Link to you on the receiving end pls....

I'll never tell.

Unless we catch up pre Hawks game and you get me drunk and willing.

Are you coming over for the Hawks game? About fckn time. Time to bump the Bigfooty meetup thread methinks!

As Tony Jones's other half, maybe she should be hopelessly biased towards the conservatives.

It's the kind of budget that you could only possibly deliver in the first year of the election cycle. No plans for jobs, no plans to grow the economy, no real winners anywhere, just cut, cut, cut.

 

[Ebert80]

I personally thought we should have spent another $10 billion on these - http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-...-fighter-purchase-is-not-new-spending/5406716

I think the budget is good and has been received well.

The poor hate the rich again.

Natural order has been restored.

Now if I could just find some boat people to use as gardeners and cleaners or slaves or whatever the politically correct term is nowadays.

I think 'houseboys' is the politically correct term you are searching for Ed

First Dog on the Moon explains the budget

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Uni fees are not a problem if you can get a scholarship.

 

[I Dont Care]

Uni fees are not a problem if you can get a scholarship.

Yes it helps if you come from 'a good family' apparently...
