Congratulations to Nicola Willis and her team for serving up a palatable budget.
We could have easily got an austerity budget to choke on, to ease the hangover from 6 years of drunken orgy of Labour Greens.

Why even have the change then.

One should understand degustation or medicinal programs.
You don't take it all in one gulp!
Is there anything in social services left to cut? Only super..
Come to think of it, the accomodation supplement can be axed in it's entirety.
Along with tax reform to boost revenue (cgt).
Well, I will get a whopping $20 a week more in the back pocket.
Those on WFF should get a decent amount, but the rest (pensioners, low wage earners who don't have kids, higher wage earners who do have kids) get peanuts.
I knew they were going to have to scale back tax cuts once they got into govt and realised they had a lot less to play with.
But now that I see they are still going to have to borrow so much, I question again whether these tax cuts are the right thing to do.
Given how modest it is for a lot of people, I doubt it's gonna be an election winner.
They start to lose credibility after all of the attacks on Labour. And I agree that Labour was out of control! But to then go and borrow even more money to give tax cuts... I just can't go along with that.
