There’s not much cheering about the #budget. Some grudging remarks on finally tackling the ‘big end of town’ but also much about #NDIS cuts and #AUKUS spends. But the truth iwe shouldn’t get too excited and think about this budget as foretelling what’s to come next (election time next that is). A New Politics article reminds us it is still a budget steeped in neoliberalism:

“..it’s a mixed but ideologically revealing budget: it contains some redistributive reforms, especially on housing tax concessions, but it also preserves the deeper neoliberal framework that has afflicted most economies in the Western world for far too long – there’s the typical material about budget repair, productivity, business incentives, expanding the defence, means-testing and restraint on social spending, especially within the National Disability Insurance Scheme.” (Source: https://www.newpolitics.com.au/p/the-new-politics-verdict-a-slightly )

#AlboPM is not about to change in any radical way anytime soon. Vote #GreensFirst #LaborSecond (Or a good progressive independent small ‘L’. liberal if Labor offends too much) next time around. That’s the lesson I learned these past two years.
