This budget in October will be generation-defining. The government can either spend up hugely, investing in society for decades to come. Thankfully it at least seems to understand now that the 'debt for future generations' stuff is nonsense. Or...it'll piss the lot away in tax cuts to the well-off, who don't need them, and to major lobbies like the gas industry, starving society of the investment it badly needs. And the RBA could work a bit harder and just print the bloody money, rather than telling the government to borrow it.
