    Because the only decent visible thing in it are the tax concession changes, even those are weakened and they won’t come into true effect for a while.

    The rest is either downright cruelty, a flat out cash giveaway, tax cuts coming from NDIS funding and that don’t help anyone anyway really…it’s garbage.

    There are handouts by the way…a 2 billion handout to developers for infrastructure their DAs compel them to provide anyway, stolen from the Queensland LNP. The ‘$1000’ tax rebate.

    It’s a shit budget, cynically covered by an overdue tax concession change on housing, a budget that’s likely to kill some of our most disadvantaged. We’ve already heard how some on the NDIS are considering assisted dying over social and community participation cuts. This government will see them pushed back to abusive church based groups.

      I read your comment curiously but with no evidence included I did some research (google searching). I quickly discoverd miss-information (lies) in your words which makes the entire comment null and void to me. Thank you for your time.

          Quick one is the hand out funds is for councils to build infrastructure to new housing developments. Not to developers.

            Nope, it’s for developers…councils don’t supply this, developers do as it’s part of DA approval. The mileage varies but not by much and only in the sense of what’s needed; eg a rural residential development doesn’t have kerb and channeling.

            Councils are funded separately for infrastructure purposes from government and they try to spend that separately, mainly on upkeeping current services or extending to outer suburbs. Subdivisions however are the responsibility of developers.

            Speaking as a qualified surveyor who has worked on these subdivisions plus within LGAs. That’s why I know it’s bad.

              You seem well versed in the ways of construction. But your information is contrary to EVERY other piece of information I can find on this subject. Everything, government statements and interviews, left wing media, right wing media, the actual budget documents. You are contradicting all of them… So yeah, I am happy to stand by my statement of miss information.
