Budget is for the sheep masses to think they are getting some of the so called mining 'boom' money. Great marketing for the election.

Cutting money on defense? Crazy. All this talk of 'surplus' when we still have massive debts to pay off. Marketing.

Sure there are some unexpected things like the offsetting of losses for companies... But really, if you are making consistent losses why are you in business?

I do like how the strategy is to have the ATO audit more people to get more income. That's good (I'm not a fan of tax cheats), but hopefully it won't mean stupid back dated law changes from the ATO to get a cash grab off Mum & Dad 'investors'.

I'm sure when KRudd was initially voted in, we were meant to be receiving tax cuts by now... Not tax increases.
