A nasty budget last night. Token amounts to aged care and women, neither of which will fix the problems there. Tax offsets for low and middle income earners to get through one more election, after which their taxes go UP, while taxes on the wealthy will be massively slashed. And private school funding up by $3.6 billion, while unis cop more cuts, like the ABC. (LNP enemies, in their eyes.) These bastards never diverge from their same policies - cut taxes, cut regulations, smash your enemies. Only unions can stop them, but nobody joins them any more. People do protests instead, which never change anything.
