Budget This!
The budget reveal last night was interesting. It was interesting in the way that it was uninteresting. Although claimed to not be about politics, a very good political move was made by not announcing any big spending – it means that Joe Hockey and Tony Abbott could also not announce any big spends at risk of looking “risky”.
Though I find politics interesting, I am by no means an “expert”, but in my opinion, as much as the Rudd government has failed this particular move was good, almost very good. The budget itself is also, pretty good, it’s kind of like a naked photo of Tara Reid, circa 2008; you like it but you are still a little unsettled.
New Super GP Clinics, a simpler tax return process and return to surplus within three years were the major announcements. There were, however, minor announcements left out of the fanfare that I will reveal – not because I like you, but because I like me more.
Budget items not announced last night:
- SPEND: 1.2 million dollars for Godwin Gretch. Starting the demise of Turnbull was relief for Rudd.
- REALLOCATE: 2 Billion dollar “gift” from the makers of Tamiflu, for allowing the swine flu “pandemic” spread tSo be reallocated to “pimping out the Lodge”
- SPEND: $50,000 on a coach to give Wayne Swan a personality.
- CUT: $20,000 to be cut on the “Project Liberal Party Spying” taskforce as since Tony Abbott took over there has been “next to no proposals to counter argue”
- SPEND: $30,000 on replacing Peter Garrett’s computer with a cardboard box. “If we can’t email him he can’t fuck up…”
- SPEND: $18.95 for a devil outfit for Steven Conroy.
No, but seriously the guy is Satan.
