No, you have it all wrong, there will be tax cuts without new taxes, that is what they said.

I wont be watching it.

Anyone remember the Dr Who weeping angels, reminds me of the current govt.....

They were known for being murderous psychopaths, eradicating their victims "mercifully" by dropping them into the past and letting them live out their full lives, just in a different time period. This, in turn, allowed them to live off the remaining time energy of the victim's life. However, when this potential energy paled in comparison to an alternative power source to feed on, the Angels were known to kill by other means, such as snapping their victims' necks.

How about what we won't hear, or read....I know these facts have been posted before but once more can't hurt......

Tony Abbott's Budget emergency: what are the facts?

Not one of the prime minister’s claims about the 'Budget emergency' stacks up against a simple fact check – and here's the evidence

Claim: Australia has a budget emergency

Nations with budget emergencies don’t receive AAA ratings with a stable outlook from all three credit rating agencies, as Australia did under Labor.

Australia is one of only 10 economies in the world with AAA ratings from all three agencies – in the company of other countries with strong public finances like Germany, Canada, Sweden, Singapore and Switzerland. This status shows our finances are considered to be stronger than those of the vast majority of advanced economies – including the US, the UK, Japan, France and New Zealand.

Yes. And count the Labor descriptors he assigns with those mentions.

Who's going to watch Smokin Joe and who's watching something exciting instead?

Wow, I think there were words in there that nobody expected. What a bunch of mean boys.

Yes but Julie Bishop has a better hairstyle, maybe she should tell Michaela where to go.

I really don't care about their hair cuts unless they are so odd they distract. That applies equally to men and women 😄

I fail to see how this addresses the structural issues Hokey is claiming it does.

It's depressing, we need hospital funding. Cuts to that is plain ludicrous

They have also got around people clogging up emergency departments by allowing states to charge for hospital treatment. So it is an increase for the truly desperate.
