Here's a soap box - have your rant.

Clever accounting everywhere. Screwed the single parents on benefit for families. No company tax drop.

Your teeth look ok as long as you never took care of them.

The one they don't mention -carbon tax.

What a Swan song ...

I'm amazed at the single parent push. Guaranteed vote killer but it'll be a number count.

Why doesn't one treasurer understand the multiplier effect?
