Battling budget

Who doesn't love a good government budget? well in Australia the media gets pretty excited by it for some reason. They are pretty much all the same, This budget wil be tough, there will be some winners and losers blah blah...

This will effect families in this way or that, some government sectors will lose jobs, some tax goes up, some tax goes down and there's often a  lame catch phrase meant to appeal to someone or some demographic of the electorate, this time it's the "battlers!" what? who where? oh ok poorer, low income families, hmmm in Australia even a poor family has an amazingly high standard of living, what ever...

Go to the ABC online 2012 budget to wade through what it may or may not mean
